The Steel Guitar Forum

What you are looking at is a Lollar string-through pickup.
It requires very little modification to the guitar and the tone is amazing.

I use a 20 degree thumbpick made by Zookies.
It helped remove all of that scraping sound on the string and they are comfortable.
They come in 10, 20 and 30 degree angles.

Oh dear.............
My gosh those are beautiful.
I've decided I need one and I need it yesterday.

Can anyone tell me what the approximate amount for shipping and import taxes might be?
Asking for a friend....

A few more strings and it will be a piano............

Mine, from the pickup to the tail is filled with what
looks and feels like bakelite. It's black and very hard.
I had to remove some of it to pull out the tone control for repair.
From the pickup forward it is stuffed with newspaper.

Harmony maybe?

When I hear about string bending I always think of David Gilmour.

Guitar Pro 6.
I've been using it since version #3.
It works well for me.

I have that exact guitar sitting in it's stand behind me right now.
Mine is a 1947 model.
I do not know the value but I paid $250 for mine about 5 years ago in very good condition.
Yours appears to be missing the attached jack and cord.
Great sounding guitar.....love the tone they put out.

So, does this mean free beer for everyone
registered on this site or is that a bit optimistic?...

Wow.......that is a purple guitar. I like it. Unusual color, unusual design and very distinctive. I bet it sounds great. You will enjoy the heck out of it. Chris made a baritone guitar for me last year. He is one of the nicest guys I have ever dealt with. Lots of emails going back and forth to make ...

When someone finds out I play an instrument and they ask what I play, I just say "I play the guitar". I really got tired of trying to explain what a lap steel is and watch their eyes glaze over. However, I love the darned thing(s) and the most enjoyable part of my day usually involves sitt...

Hi Andy,

I clicked on that url, 3 times, and got a
"problem loading page--server not found" message.

That is a very pretty guitar.
Nice find.
And be careful, they're addicting.
I used to have just one.
Have no idea where there rest of them came from........

I have had a Lehle Mono 90 for about a year now.
This is the model with the jacks on the side.
It is very smooth, doesn't color the tone at all.
Best pedal I have owned.
And no darn string to break.

If I smell mildew in my music room I usually just put on a clean t-shirt.

Hi Fred,

Thanks for that bit of info.
At least it wasn't my imagination.
I went over to my wife's computer and brought up that page
and that list popped right up.
She d/loaded it and emailed it to me.

Thank you.
Have a good day.

https://jjazzlab.gitbook.io/user-guide/ The link to "Export as PDF" is at the top of the list on the right side of the page. Thank you for your response but as usual I am still confused That url takes me to the User Guide page where I see a large picture of the program, when opened. Below...

Hi Guys, I saw this thread and d/loaded the program and it's sound files etc. and seem to have it working a bit. It may seem simple to you folks but I've never used any program for backing tracks etc. It says on their website that there is a manual the can be d/loaded to a PDF. Does anyone know wher...

All I've read in here is that black guitars always sound better.
I don't have any black guitars so I'm using that as an excuse.

I've had mine for about 8 months now. Ordered it from Amazon and it arrived in 8 days. I like the little amp a lot. I have been using a Yamaha THR10 for playing at home and the Spark really sounds much better. A huge full tone for such a small amp. I've never used all their presets and settings sinc...

I use Audacity.
It's simple and I can modify it for whatever reason if I want to before I export it to an mp3.

My advice is worth about 7 cents, before taxes. I have never been able to use a lap steel while on legs or in my lap. The legs would either wobble a bit or they would get in the way as they were too close together. My lap was worse. I's start tapping my feet or adjusting my posture and off it would ...

There are some adjustable stands like this one......... https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/14651_517NqpUFKlL_AC_UL480_QL65__1.jpg I do not know how well they work. Amazon has 8 billion different types. I have a Duesenberg that is fairly skinny at the tail so I took my On Stage guitar sta...
