Dropping the price

I can't believe NO ONE is interested in this fine instrument. Did I mention it sounds great and looks great?

I'll drop the price to 450.00 plus shipping for steel guitar forum members only. It's still 550.00 on Craigslist.

Beautiful maple, hand-made in America, Allen Melbart console steel guitar. 8 strings. Jerry Wallace Tru-Tone single coil PU sounds fantastic. Got raves from the local steel guitar club. Three steel legs, ajustable. Bought new from Allen Melbart less than two years ago for 650. This was a reduced pri...

Goodbye, Buddy

I was lucky enough to study with Buddy for two years in the 90's. What a joy to sit across a steel guitar from this man. His understanding of jazz harmony was exceptional. I also loved hearing his stories. He told me that I should never leave my bar on the steel. I asked him why. He told me of one t...

Tripod Idea for Lap Steel

I have a high quality Manfrotto tripod for my camera with a quick release that screws into the bottom of the camera. I thought it would be easy to cut a piece of wood to match the body of my 6 string ( that I converted into a steel with a nut extender), put a capture nut into the wood that matched t...

I agree they are being misleading, but, judging by their grammar, I think it might just be from not knowing.

It's going for 1500. Very cheap, I would say, for a piece of history.

Just bought a ProFex I....it's great. Got Jeff Newman's presets off the web and have some questions. What's the difference between series and parallel?

Mike,
funny you should mention the Classic 50/2-12. I plugged my steel into my Classic last night for the first time (I have a Session 400 and a HotRod Deluxe that I usually use for steel) and it sounded great. My sho-bud just sparkled. I may have to start dragging the Classic to gigs!

I recorded my Tele direct with a line 6 pod and got a fabulous sound...it was better than a 64 deluxe that I cut other parts with!

Confused about Tab

I just bought some old Emmons tab and I'm confused about two things. What does "t" mean? I assume it's a knee lever, but aren't they "D" "E" "F", etc.?
Also, there are numbers below the tab....1, 2...what does this mean??

thanks,
