The Steel Guitar Forum

Flew from San Diego to Nashville with the steel in a foam padded Pelican Vault case. I gate checked it and they sent it down the conveyor belts upon arrival. I opened the case, and lo and behold - two pedal are snapped off. The case got roughed up but is structurally sound. Southwest claims they can...

Mine's measuring out to 32"x10.25"x4.5"

Edit: I'm gonna hold onto this guitar for now. Please close,thanks all :) Hi, selling the emmons. It's an early 2000's low mileage guitar. Plays and sounds fantastic. Counterforce is hooked up on the E neck and works great. Stock single coil pickups. Thomas case in very good shape too. Not sure what...

Looking for a black Pro II! 2 up/1 down or 1 up/1 down changer! Thanks

I'll take it if the deal falls through!

A Twin with two EVM12L is gonna be pushing 100lbs i'd imagine! The EV Force 12 is worth looking into- a little lighter and a little less hi-fi but in the same ballpark. I think they're better suited for 2x12 applications. Never tried SRO's but I bet they're sweet.

Looking for bellcranks and vertical lever assembly.

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=361357&highlight= I've wondered this before. I've found JI using harmonics works for most strings/changes but i have to temper closer to ET on the 5th string G-F# change and the 6th string E-Eb to get the diminished chord to sound good. The other q...

Wow. You killed it mike. Very cool style and arrangement. Ive messed with this tune on c6 pedal steel. Randy beavers does it, but i think the ISGC videos are off youtube unfortunately.

Yea, this one was mine at one point. Charles tilley( a forum member here) had it before me and told me it was terry crisp's guitar.

Thanks Camden and Scott for the kind words. If anything, do not follow my lead on non-jazz c6 playing! lol +1 on the Pete Drake recommendations, I believe he had a high G in his c6 that he pulled to an A, which imo he used to great Mooney-esque effect. Even without that pull, you can get a lot of ea...

Hello, here is a 1975 Sho bud 6139, serial #8466. 2 raise, 1 lower changer, 2 hole puller mechanism. It sounds great and plays smooth. Original pickup and original case (in excellent shape). Minor finish checking but in very good shape overall. I added 2 knee levers from Michael Yahl and they work g...

Put me next in line!

J Fletcher wrote:Regarding moving the pull rod , shouldn't you be moving it to a bell crank hole that's farther from the cross shaft , to get more pull ? Then you can back off the nylon tuning nut and get a bit of slack .

Yes! You're right. Thanks for catching that.

Regarding the B pedal, does that 6th string nylon tuner feel looser/ easier to turn than the others? I find the nylon tuners get unstable if there's a significant amount of tuner hanging off the end of the pull rod. Maybe that's the culprit? P5 seems like it needs a timing adjustment. That G-F# chan...

Looking for an MSA micro-era vertical lever and 4 hole bell cranks.

pm sent.

and I hate to drill mounting holes under there that I would end up not using. Looks like that's already been done (in at least 5 places). I've done a similar thing (jumping a lever pull from one place to another) on MSA guitars, and there's no reason it couldn't be done on any guitar as long as you...

Looking for a case for an MSA classic SS d10. Pretty sure most cases for a (keyed) double frame guitar might work with some extra padding. Let me know what you got!

Pm sent.

I only know because i've made the same mistake before! It can be a neat effect sometimes.

Fwiw, i weighed a D10 MSA Classic SS in the factory case with 8+5. It was 68 lbs.

Since no one mentioned it, are you sure your cables connected to your pedal aren't reversed?
