Boy, am I glad to see this thread (even thought it's from 2013)! I have a Dual Pro and a Deluxe 8, all with lollipop tuners, and I live in fear of the day one goes south. T.J., if you're still around, do you have a link to the StewMac tuners you used? Are they these? http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_...

From the photos, it looks like the refinish was to the cream sides of the guitar, but not the sort-of green metallic sections - would that be correct?

Thanks,

Hi -

I'll commit to buying this. I would need you to ship, though - would you be willing? I can put it on my insurance and would assume risk once it left you.

Please email mylescdavis@gmail.com to discuss.

Thanks,

Of course... I knew it would be obvious. Just not obvious enough! Thanks.

I hear you on the previous meaning.

I know this will be obvious when I know the answer, but...

Thanks,

Difference in sound between Fender steels

I've been looking for a single-neck Deluxe (with the trapezoid pickup) as a lighter-weight alternative to my Dual Professional. No luck so far. I have seen a few Stringmasters and some of the other Fender lap steels from the late '50's. Can anyone who's used these comment on how they sound? And, if ...

WTB: Fender Deluxe 8 or 6 with trapezoid pickup

I'm looking for an early 50's Fender Deluxe (single neck) 6 or 8-string steel. Doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't even have to have the correct case, but it needs to have the original pickup. The one I'm looking for is like this: https://gbmedia.azureedge.net/usercontent/gear/3350010/p1_unsptquzs_s...

I'll throw in a second or third (and counting) on the importance of how guitars are packed. I've shipped a lot of instruments over the past 20 years, including many between the US and Europe. The most important thing you can do is to pack the guitar (or whatever - I ship a lot of electronics - amps ...
