Haha, Herb that last one cracked me up.

Shot Jackson with Jeff Newman on pedal steel... "Mother's favorite Tunes" is hard to find, but superb. There's one on Ebay now...

Great looking guitar Michael, you sound like a good dad buying a present like that! I would have to buy a gift like that for myself. Good luck on sale.

Looks very usable Mark. Nice thinish bottoms. Is there a lot of empty toe space sticking out? Thats a deal killer for me. My croqs with removed inner pad is what I use. Toes are blunt.

Wonderful toe tappers Chris, his playing was so fluid. I love the vocal harmony also.

Those epiphones were one of the most beautiful looking consoles made.

Good info guys, I haven't scrutinized the wiring on mine yet. Chris the switch is like volume on radio, all the way CCW is off. I have no other lap steel where the saddle is anything other than a steel or aluminum edge..even the gibson and rick consoles I think... why would an all metal guitar have ...

Wow, I'm amazed. Some of the internet photos I looked at really looked like a steel saddle, but now when I zoom in I see grooves cut, and maybe made from wood. Thanks for the reality check Noah!

Guys, while I have everyone here, can you tell me about the metal saddle? Does it come out when you replace the strings ie, is it loose? Mine has a replacement wooden one, which I knew about when I bought it and was suspicious of, but it still sounds great and I can just make another out of tool ste...

Great information everybody. Chris, I'm pretty certain my screw holes are stripped and will need some filling so I will remember that. Noah, is that the prototype that has solid head stock? I ordered the golden age set. Lets see what happens...Its odd how 1936 used an A serial number and others had ...

I measured the holes for the tuners yesterday, and it looks like my hole pattern is a little more obscure. My overall mounting hole distance for each tuner is close to .925", not the standard 1.000", and the distance between the closest screw hole and shaft hole is about .360" (hole f...

Ok Noah, I will remove the strings and one of thost strip tuners. I've got dial calipers so I can do a precise measurement....

Haha, I just found this from 2018....

Any additional recommendations?

Hey folks, I just scored a fairly nice one with replacement strip tuners that are not functional. I want to go back to the large individual units like it had originally. Anybody have a recommendation? Similar to this one....no actual pics taken yet. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/15343_...

Wonderful pictures Bob, your mom looks so happy posing with it by the road. I've never seen one of those MOTS phonographs!

Very nicely done Mr Bill, very clean version. I listened to this at 5:00 a.m. drinking my coffee.

Just saw this TV show recording of the great George Jones and Tammy Wynette with the Jones Boys. What artists, what a great band! All done live, can't imagine. The super Sonny Curtis really takes off on some of these. Enjoy From "Nashville with music" 1969 This one is for b0b, Ive been awa...

Thank you George, that was a great idea to look on facebook. I used the email on Herbie's website a number of times to inquire about courses but got no response.

Wow, that is a long vertical lever, I've never seen one like that but I'm still a novice. That's a cool shirt too John

I remember Joe telling me he could use feet with theaded rod that gave about an inch of adjustment. Mcmaster has them in different sizes.

What a great idea, wonder why we havent seen it before. Love these vintage photos. Look at the pompadour on the acoustic guitar player!

This is very sad. I had just recently become familiar with his superb playing. There are great photos at his website if you havent been....

Thank you for asking this question James, and thanks for that website Liam. I just ordered Herbs lapsteel DVD #2. I ordered some A6 tuning material from him over the phone a few years ago. I didn't know he had any DVD material though.

Great photos Alan. When I first saw the 3D versions it made me think of Floyds "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast".
