Fender Stringmaster Repair Recommendation

Hi, I have a 1957 T8 that's in need of some work on the pickups and push buttons. Looking for recommendations for who is best that I could either ship or take to for this. I've done just about all the troubleshooting that I can do from Google searches and on here. Thanks!

Former Opry star & Texas Playgirl Ramona Reed

My sweet Mama is now singing & yodeling with Bob Wills' swing band in heaven. It warmed my heart to speak to her good friend and former Playboy Bobby Koefer this week. Bobby sounded great. https://tulsaworld.com/entertainment/music/texas-playgirl-opry-performer-and-oklahoma-music-hall-of-famer-r...

Herb's videos are still available at www.texasmusicsupply.com . I just purchased both volumes this year. I did contact his son earlier this year to see if he had any material....he was going to look around, but I never heard back.

Herb Remington Tabs

With the loss of Herb Remington a couple of years ago, his website is no longer present. Just wondering if anyone knows another source to get any of his tabs from? Maybe someone here has copies? If so, I would really appreciate them!

That “Don’t Send Him Back To Me” included the Nashville “A - Team” including Lloyd Green, Tommy Jackson, Harold Bradley, Pig Robbins, Buddy Spicher, and of course The Jordanaires on background vocals. That session was recorded in historic Studio B, September 1967.

Bobby Koefer Fans

I just spoke to the great Bobby Koefer and his wife this afternoon and all is well with them during this stay at home time. He & my mother Ramona Reed were with Bob Wills during the same time in 1950 and have remained friends. It really warmed my heart to visit with a legend like him at 91 years...

First time changing strings on Fender Dual Pro advice

Hi, I'm changing strings for the first time on a new Fender Dual Pro 8 string that I've acquired and about to begin learning and wondering if there's any advice. It appears that there was C6 tuning on the front neck, and not sure what was on the back neck nearest to me. I'm thinking that I want the ...

*PRICE DROP* 1951 National Double Neck 8 String Grand Console "Totem Pole". This lap steel comes with the original stand, which I've been told is very rare and makes this instrument "like mint condition". Very little wear, except some chipping near where the serial number is loca...
