The Steel Guitar Forum

My 2 cents... I own this amp, and it is AMAZING! When I saw this post, I considered buying it so I would have a second one. It is a tone monster, with that great fender reverb, but when I starts breaking up, that is when the real magic happens. Fantastic blues and rock tone, with great character and...

Anytime else with insights on the brand? And encouragement/discouragement on the project?

Also, I'm curious about 2 things. 1) The third pickup, was any wood or board removed to get it in there? I'm really hoping not. 2) What's the audience facing side look like? I can't tell if I'm looking at a repair on the outer changer side corner. I will check next time I am down there.. does not l...

Thank you everyone for encouragement/caution!

Anyone know anything about this brand?

I do not have any pictures right now.. I will post them as soon as I can.

Hi Crew, A friend pulled out a beautiful case from a dusty corner in his basement, and out came a guitar I was not familiar with at all. It is a D8, tagged “Collier Custom”. Necks look similar to Emmons, their is a strange 3rd pickup in a partial position. Undercarriage is in poor shape. No pull...

Former Californian and fellow forumite John McClung teaches over Skype, and he is awesome... I took lessons over Skype with him as an absolute beginner, and benefitted a TON... look up testimonials on the forum.

Looks great!

Would you mind posting a link?

Nice! How did you attach the two pieces of pvc?

Contact John McClung, aka Professor Twang, also a forumite. He is a great teacher, and he especially excels in "putting it all together". After 24 years of playing guitar, he helped me get a good solid start on the steel, but also made a much better overall guitar player/ musician as a res...

Jim's shop is a steel guitar Mecca… He is a fantastic guy, and it is a fantastic place… My only regret is not going there more… While you are there, check out some amazing steels, talk shop, or take a lesson, if you feel so inclined. Jim is a great guy and super knowledgeable/helpful. Well wor...

Still available?

Work your way up to it? It's inherently better is it? Not better. But another tuning, with 10 strings, levers and pedals to master. I figured if I can get a good handle on 6 of those strings first, with their harmonic content, it will make mastering the 10 easier. Also, getting a 6 string lap was w...

Hi, Playing E9 pedal steel (beginner), but want to work my way up to C6. In order to do this, I bought a 6atring lap steel. It is currently tuned to C E G A C E. Would you guys recommend another tuning to learn on? A few things online say to tune the bottom string to C#. Also, any good chord books y...

Yes, Steel near Chicago will do. I actually moved to NW suburbs, but everything seems pretty driveable.

That show looks awesome, it is on the agenda! Thank you!

i am forming a classic country band now. i also teach pedal steel here at my home in lake county illinios there is some steel around but out side of chicago p.w Paul, let me know when your band is coming together, I would love to sit in on a jam or rehearsal, or come to a show. I am learning on PSG...

Hi everyone, I am moving from my beloved LA to Chicago... I will dearly miss Jim @ SGNC, JD Maness jamming at the Cantina, McCabe's and the wonderful slide concoctions they offer, and so many other things, but am excited to get settled in our new city. Calling on the community: any steel players, sh...

Tried both at the Phoenix show. Initially thought I would prefer the 12. Great punch and definition. Then true the 15 and was swayed. More roundness to the tone, but still all the greatness from the 12. However, both are awesome amps, backed by great people. Can't really go wrong. But see if you can...

Fantastic record!

So glad it is on Spotify, will send it to some friends this way! Bought it on cd, then had to use a few tricks to get it to play on my iPhone..

Great playing, can't recommend it enough!

Kevin Post, was in the credits. Featured prominently on "Good Hearted Woman". Very nice indeed!

Jack, check your inbox, payment sent 👍🏻

Rick,sorry, already spoke with Jack in the morning, and sent payment, but forgot to post this..

Donnie Herron is a big factor in why I started playing the steel!

He is very tasteful, great chord choices, beautiful touch, and really gorgeous playing! Heard this from other "young guns" as well! Check the last few Dylan records out... Worth it for the band alone!

I own an encore guitar with hum bucker, I love it! Get lots of compliments too! I got both the 4th pedal and the pad. I never used the pad, and very rarely the 4th pedal. I guess I would have still put the 4th pedal on, if only for resale ease (though I won't be selling this thing any time soon!). P...
