This is one of my favorite songs off The Pilgrim album! My friend Mick Conley is Marty's FOH engineer. I had the opportunity to meet Marty last year and told him that out of the hundreds of CDs in my collection (of all genres), if I could only listen to one country album for the rest of my life, the...

I just made a copedent change to my LDG. My RKR now pulls 1 & 7 a whole step to G# with a half-stop on G. It also pulls 2 up a half-step to E.

Billy,

I just added a 4th pedal to my LDG and got a narrow pedal from Jeff Surratt at Show-Pro.

I have a '78 LDG and the tuning is VERY stable.

I just bought some nylon 6/6 3/16" hex stock and I'm making new ones for my LDG. I'll be making 22 altogether. Got 5' of it here: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=28558 Material cost was $11.30, shipping was another $10.56. I should have inquired about cutting it into 1-foot l...

I'll withdraw my previous post from last week. Someone else is shipping one to me today. This one is up for grabs again.

Neil, I also need one of those and have noted he's out of stock. I was going to try and make one up with some spring wire at my shop. I'm sure it won't be as pretty, but when I get to that portion of my rebuild, I'll let you know if I'm successful.

Looks like a narrow mount to me with the screw plates on the ends, not the sides. If so, I'll take it, Jason! I just put a post up wanting to buy one this morning.

Hi folks!

I've ordered new parts from Michael at Psgparts.com, but I still need a tall vertical knee lever bracket for my '78 LDG.

Thanks-

Hi Mickey,

Got any Sho~Bud bell cranks/parts left? I'm going through my '78 LDG and adding some changes (4th pedal & LKV). I need more than just bell cranks if you're looking to do some more thinning out of your parts stash.

Thanks so much!
Brian

I absolutely love this solo. No one could play anything more perfect for this song.

I'll echo what Mike W just said....Michael Yahl at psgparts.com just sent me some VERY nice knee lever brackets for my LDG. They're beautifully made. Mine were the original pot metal and one of them broke. I replaced all 4 before the others failed.

I'm a HUGE fan of Bruce's playing. He has an amazing ability to go from being Mr. Subtle, playing some beautifully placed, shimmering background lines like on Kathy Mattea's "A Few Good Things Remain", to ripping off these fast, perfectly-executed solos like on Brooks & Dunn's "Wh...

I have a '78 Sho~Bud LDG and had a pot metal knee lever bracket break on me last year. The others were OK, but I just replaced all 4 to be safe. I've had no other problems (bell cranks,etc). At some point soon, I want to rip it apart, clean the changer, add a 4th pedal & modify the copedent a bi...
