The Steel Guitar Forum

Thank You Charlie! For the life of me I couldn't remember that. I will refer this customer that direction!

Greetings, I just got a call from a fairly new player that has a BMI S10 that he would like to add 2 knee levers to. He has the parts from BMI already to do it. Is there someone/shop or store in Florida that does repair/mods etc that has the time and capability for helping him. I thought there was a...

Bill C. Buntin no apology necessary. I certainly understand everyone's point of view. In my mind I had thought this through for quite some time. There was no way that I was going to butcher this guitar. I have been a craftsman for many years experienced in woodworking/furniture building/speaker buil...

Thanks Ian!

Wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for the input on this. Tackling cutting the dowels was a bit more than I wanted to get into, so I decided to keep it as is and just leave it here in my home studio. Thanks Ian for the info on making those cuts. Much appreciated and to everyone else on the fe...

I agree Donny. Just doesn't make sense. And two machine bolts holding the tuner mechanism would have solved the immediate problem. Reassembling it now. E clip hell.. here we go!

Hi Tony. My plan was to leave all cross rods and bell cranks in place. Just pull neck/changer and tuning key rack. The only reason I was trying to temporarily pull this rod was to get to the two screws that hold the machine heads. My plan was to put everything back if I decided to sell or found the ...

Thanks Jerry, I may give that a try, but if not , it wasn't meant to be and I will just put it all back.
On the subject of re-sale value, it is good to see these old guitars are still holding their value. I have been out of the loop for a while.

Jack, I had been looking for a SD like my D10(same era) but thought I would try to do the mod on this guitar and if I ever decided to sell it, just reinstall the parts. The two screws under the crossrod was a roadblock I did not really expect. I will more than likely just turn back and re-rod this a...

So, Bill C. Buntin I offer the same reply to you. Why bother to respond at all if you offer nothing useful to on the subject while other people are actually trying to be helpful?

Thanks Doug. At first, I thought the cross rod was one solid rod with machined ends, but yes now I see the dowel moving into the rod. I have had no luck getting enough clearance to pull it up. Just found another thread here where they just mention cutting the pin and replacing it. https://bb.steelgu...

Thanks Doug.
I can see the one on the first cross rod for the A pedal, after that they go up under the lip where the pedal springs are and I'm not sure how to even get to it.

possibly, but your reply is of no help.

Greetings! I have decided to turn my LeGrande III into a SD. I am stuck on removing the tuning keys as 2 of the screws are directly under a cross rod.I have nothing in the way of a low profile offset screwdriver to get them out. I was thinking of trying to pull that cross rod, but am Leary of damagi...

Has this been sold? I realize this is a fairly old thread, but just checking anyway.
Thx

Sure would like to sell this as well.
How about $175.00 plus free shipping in the lower 48.

Sure would like to move these.
How about $200.00 each plus free shipping in the lower 48.
These recorders were about $1000.00 each new. Surely they must be of good use to someone. Great for producing demos and as a scratchpad for songwriters.

Hi Bobby, I believe that Robert is correct as it seems that I have had this unit for about 4 or 5 years. This unit has some really nice verbs on it, and in general can be used for just about anything, but I think it seems to lend itself nicely to live vocal applications. I had a friend of mine who w...

I have had a pair of these since high school. Great speakers. At one time these were quite common for studio control room monitors. Mine still sound amazing even after 30 years. I am thinking of restoring them to original condition. Anyone had any experience with the JBL factory regarding restoratio...
