I literally unpacked it to assemble it for photos. It’s 100% brand new minus my fingerprints for the photos. No wait on a brand new Mullen!

I'm selling a couple of steels for my friend here in Nashville that is a collector of steel guitars. The guitars that are listed as new are ones that he has bought, and really only taken out of the case for photos. They have otherwise been stored in his climate controlled steel guitar room at his sm...

Leigh has made me a couple of the reflective “stay cool” style covers for my steels, as well as a pack a seat cover. All of the covers are top quality and fit perfect! The reflective material really helps on summer festival stages! https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/16823_IMG_9958_2.jpg htt...

I’m looking for the smaller case of a split case. To keep my steel under 50lbs for the airlines, I gotta check the legs rods and pedalbar seperate… so I just need the smaller case for those. Let me know what ya got!

Mine arrived yesterday and I cut the foam with an electric kitchen knife. Mullen Discovery fits OK. Weighs in at 45 pounds. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/5603_68972897931__C2FEF3D1B2634431AB5E2801F42F5018_2.jpg This is what I was thinking - it would work better for a S-10. I’ll be int...

I measured a few configurations, and determined even for local gigs, there wouldn’t be enough depth to protect the steel. There was only going to be about 1/2” of foam around the steel, and less than that for the depth. I was anticipating the weight of the steel would compress that fairly easily. Th...

A picture of the broken pickup in the guitar/case might help. Unless something else weird is going on......... To break the pickup something must come in contact with it. In order for that to happen, that "something" has to get past the barrier formed by the strings. That would require a ...

Paul Franklin Sr. told me laying the guitar (strings down) on a foam pad in the case is the best way to transport a steel. From his time working at Sho-Bud, they had less transit damage when they used the padded method rather than using "blocks" in the case to hold the guitar off the bott...

Keep us posted. Is the depth of the case okay ? I used the storm im1300 for a while but had problems with the depth. That’s what I’m playing with currently, the depth. I’m treating this as a Measure 20x and cut once situation… since i can always take a little more foam away, but adding it back if I...

following. Would you fly that? Or just for local. I don’t fly with the D-10 emmons - but I am thinking about getting another one for the s-10 sho bud that I fly with all the time. If that works out, I wouldn’t have to split the legs, rods, and pedal bar into a different case to keep it under 50lbs....

When I received my new Carter in 2002 the 710 had ripped off it's base. John sent out a new pu for me. Ever since then ive always packec steels for shipping with thin Styrofoam or cloth between the strings and pickup. I’ll probably start going that route. I’ve got extra foam under the guitar.. but ...

My Lawrence 710 pickup cover keeps breaking. Has anyone else had this issue? I fly a lot with the guitar. It’s in a custom flight case, with extra foam under the pickup. I’ve reglued it about 5 or 6 times at this point. Just curious if this is a known problem with those, or it’s just me?

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/16823_E63EB1EFDE9A4857B05D36F92DFDDC97_1.jpg Hey guys… just wanted to document my process on here in case anyone is interested. My 51 year old emmons case is ready to be replaced. I wanted something lightweight but durable. It looks like the pelican v700 ...

Long shot, but do you still happen to have a L left?

Are these similar to the “stay cool” covers that used to be around? If so, how can I get one?
