2 narrow mounts from Super Pro. One is 22.8, but the other won't read and I don't know how to fix it. $100. for both shipped to the lower 48.

No Lee. The discussion is about string buzz !! Rollers can cause it, a rough bridge can cause it, a bad string, etc.
Even bar placement can cause it. READ JIM'S POST !!

Gene: To add to my old friend Jack's reply, my Sho Bud has occasional string buzz. The fix that usually works is to sand the bridge with 1500/2000 grit paper as over time, a "groove" will form. Hope this helps.

Since I've played one of his guitars for 12 years and chatted numerous times with him on the phone and in person,I will say he has been extremely helpful any time I needed help.He at times has a slight dry sense of humor which can come across in a negative way but I never felt he talked down or had...

Sorry I misspelled your name Erv.

What was the reason the owner thought the new instrument needed to be fixed? OK. Here's what I was told on several occasions by my friend. Again, it's not me. Friend ordered a new guitar, and when it arrived, the rear end plate was scarred from a screw through the case..too long. He said it played ...

Irv: It's not ME with the problem...it's my friend. He said Rudolph was hateful to him when he asked for advice about his NEW guitar.

If it has 'split' tuning screws at the top of the changer (see photo), check that they are not stopping the strings from lowering to pitch http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/2419_split_tuners_1.jpg Photo of the neck end so called split screws. These are what I was referring to. If the guita...

Thanks so much Jon.

Customer service is always great. When I had a similar problem he politely directed me to the Williams website where there are instructions for tuning splits. Thanks Greg and Ian. Possibly my friend caught him on a bad day. Greg: I've looked on their website, but can't find the piece on tuning spli...

3 areas I can suggest you look at. 1. Does the guitar have a row of screws at the end of the neck for splits? If so, be sure the finger is moving enough. If not, back out the split screw. 2. Does the guitar have a wound or a plain string? Wound strings take more travel than do plain. Sometimes a wo...

Thanks for your reply Geo. The problem with him, is that he offers NO support for my friend. Very belligerent, even though he was quick to take his money !! With that kind of attitude, MY next guitar will be ANYTHING but a Williams.

Hi guys: A friend brought his new Williams SD10 by today, with some tuning probs. Ended up changing raise rod holes in changer and bell crank. Worked. However, #6 won't lower far enough w/lever. Tuning nuts won't do it. Does the same leverage theory apply to lowering ? Thanks, BILL

Don: My thoughts are with you and your family. BILL

Please close.

BUMP please

Marc: One thing I found on my '81 Bud, is the rivet that holds the the lower and raise pieces together (pivot point) over time, wears. When you disassemble to lubricate, it's easy to rotate that worn area in the rivet to a different place, making it bind up. You have no choice but to work that rivet...

I have 2 Wallace Truetones narrow mount in excellent condition. They are 3 hole mount for Sho Bud, and others. Very crisp on every pole. 17.7K and 17.6K. $140.00 shipped in CONUS. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/17218_002_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/17218_003_1.jpg ...

Good point Ian. Thanks.

Thanks Norman. I can load soloists, etc., but was unaware that I could mute whatever, and have it end up permanent. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks again. BILL

Hello all. I have a 2017 basic (pro) version. I want to change from an accompaniment piano, to a soloist piano at the bridge, or intro, etc. Is that possible, and how would I do that ? Thanks, BILL

WOW !! Thanks Jack. SIT's are my favorite. I'll try again.
BILL

Fred: I understood JUST STRINGS doesn't carry psg strings anymore. I used to order from them, then no more options.
They carryin' again ?
