The Steel Guitar Forum

Speakers have been sold!

Up for sale are two Eminence Double-T 12" 8ohm speakers. Very little playing time. I've had them in my Twin, but have since fallen away from playing steel as much as I once was. I have decided to change out speakers to fit my guitar playing a little more. $175 apiece + shipping or $300 for both...

I’m looking to try and get a new tone bar, but I’m having a little trouble. I’ve been using a John Pearse 7/8 bar, but after going through Paul Franklin’s course, I believe the bar is too short for my hand. I’m trying to find a bar that is a little longer, closer to a 12 string bar. I foun...

Thanks for all the help guys! Josh, you made a good point I hadn't thought of regarding a 12" speaker being used for tones 'most' people are striving for. And I suppose if 12s are good enough for Travis Toy and Paul Franklin then they can't be bad :D I've been trying to find where to order Telo...

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! My other question would be what kind of tonal difference would 2 12 have vs the 1 15? The only experience I've had with a 2 12 has been a Carvin solid state combo and it never did sound great with steel...obviously it wasn't intended for steel, but it has me...

I've recently bought a '68 twin reverb chassis and I'm trying to decided what speaker configuration I want to go with for the new cab, 2x12 or 1x15. The main duty for the twin will be steel, but I would want to use it for guitar some as well. I know the choice of speakers for a 15 is rather limited,...

I currently own two Dr Zs, a early Carmen Ghia and a Mazerati, both of which are wonderful amps in my opinion. If the tone stack in this amp is anything like that in the Ghia and Mazerati (both only having a tone control), not having a mid knob shouldn't be an issue. However, I'm more of a guitar pl...

That's awesome. How's the Stage One doing?? It's doing very well! I've thoght about using it as fire wood a few times, but I'm still trying to plug away at it little by little. It hasn't gotten to see as much action these days between work and guitar gigs. And I found no one wants a steel player th...

So with all the talk that seems to be going around about Paul Franklin and Vince Gill, I thought I would share my experience. Last weekend I had the great pleasure to meet and talk to both Paul and Vince...well honestly I didn't do much talking from being starstruck. I mainly listened haha! My Frien...

Jerry, did you receive my email?

Sorry, Wrong section. Mod, please move.

I've been playing since May, and I do have a slight understanding of how complete chord shapes are formed, although I don't have it down very well. I have a slight understanding of theory (thanks to Mr. Mark Vanallen) but there is one thing I can't really get my head around, doing a single string wa...

Just got my StroboPlus HD tuner in today and I have been looking at the preset PSG tunings but I'm not sure what makes each preset different. I have been using the ClearTune app on my phone and tuning to Jeff Newman's tuning chart, so this tuner is somewhat overwhelming at the moment! From a search ...

Me and a friend of mine are currently at the Florida Country Super Fest and it's been awesome so far! I know there is some dislike/disapproval here when it modern country music (I'm 23 and don't like the majority of what's out there) but everybody last night put on one heck of a show! Jason Aldean f...

Nothing is binding, I haven't noticed anyway. I know one reason why one of the pedals wont stay tuned to pitch it because there isn't a nylon nut on the end of the rod, just a regular nut (which was my doings).

Here are some pictures of the guitar I currently have. The only missing pieces I have are the rods for the knee levers. I'm all for getting this one in playable condition, I just don't know of anybody in Georgia that knows how to work on a steel. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1403/14262_phot...

Think about it - you're spending a lot of time trying to fix, figure out and tune the guitar instead of practicing it . The kicker, of course is that the price is right because the steel is on loan from a friend. I've had pull-release guitars. Yes, there are those who absolutely believe that they a...

Thanks for the heads up! I looked in the forum store last night for the Winnie Winston book and realized they were sold out!

yes..you could buy something, but........you've already got the oddball junker and some steel player friend may be able to fix it up (for free) for minimal use just to get you started...just to save $1000 for awhile. even if you're just using the two main pedals you can learn a few things. Well, th...
