The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks, Dennis. I admit I felt a little strange posting my ZKing for sale soon after you posted yours. I figured 8 strings, keyless, different wood and different body shape was enough difference that I wouldn't be stepping on your toes, at least too badly. I completely agree that Johnie's lap steels...

ttt with Much lower price

2" mahogany and maple (guessing on the maple - Johnie, feel free to chime in), 25" scale, BL 705, A6 tuning. Stays in tune. Beautiful inlaid fretboard. Tone and sustain monster: when I first brought to a lesson, my teacher strummed it before even plugging in and let out a big OOOOOOOH! whe...

A real beauty for sure!

Nice! That's not a '54, is it??

Forum member Michael Brebes redid the wiring on mine - had also been reworked in interesting ways, but did not have the pickups issue that you have. He did a great job and may be able to help you out with a wiring diagram or description.
Good luck with it!

How much does it weigh, Bill? Do you do strength-building exercises with your right hand??

PM'd you, Larry.

I'm very interested to hear how it sounds, with the large crystals of minerals in the granite vs the very small crystals in steel or the amorphous ceramics. I hope you'll post a sound bite when you've finished it.

I got mine just a few weeks ago. Contact Daniel at his email address above.

I go the route Jeff suggests: iPad 1/8 output into Aux IN on a pair of inexpensive PreSonus E.3.5 powered speakers. The guitar amp is separate. If you are not recording, I don't think you need the external interface/DAW device. I like the flexibiity of keeping the backing track (or full-on mp3 of a ...

Zane King also has a bunch available.
Best of luck with your search.

I'll take it. PM sent.
Thanks.

I've been looking for something like this book for awhile, so I got one. Just getting started in it, and I find it to be written extremely well - very clear, examples given, and specific issues relating to C6 pedal steel are quite conversationally addressed. Also, Daniel has been terrific in our int...

Boy, talk about going out in style! You've sure done it, Bill!! Congratulations on a wonderful progression of builds.

Did you get my PM?
thanks.

I'll take one, Ronald. I'll PM you for payment details.

Thanks,
David

No PM? How should I contact you?

George, I'll take it. I'll PM with details.

Thanks,
David

I'm curious: do you have both a low and high G in your tuning?
Thanks.
