Daniel, yes this has a 1 inch lift on it.

Justin, looks like the copedent chart got cut off when I uploaded. I'll try to repost. Thanks

Hi All, I'm selling a 2015 Williams U12 8x5 - $3500. Setup with an Emmons version of Johnny Cox's D13 copedent. I would also consider trades for a S10 or D10. I got this guitar back in late January from Steel Guitars of North County. It was setup by Jim Palenscar and plays excellently. I switched ba...

Agreed! I've been enjoying the album. Great steel and guitar work by Paul Franklin and Brent Mason.

I just received my Williams keyless D10 8x7 today, and it plays like a dream! I've owned and played a variety of steels, and this one is a real winner in terms of playability and tone. I've also owned a Williams D10 8x8 (very similar to the blue one on their homepage), and also currently own a U12 8...

Thanks for sharing this! Back in January I switched to D13, 8x5 Emmons setup, after reading your posts and watching your previous videos on D13. I'm really enjoying the tuning - it just makes sense.

Hey fellow Tall Paul alumnus! I recently traded a Williams D10 for a Williams U12 setup with the D13 copedent. I have a Williams D10 8x7 on order that should be ready soon. I plan to keep the D10 and U12. I'm not sure how I will negotiate them for gigging. Maybe different guitars for different gigs?...

Please close

Looking for a U12 to start experimenting with D13 tuning. I would also consider trading - I have a MCI SD10 3x5 and a Williams D10 8x8

Finally received my refund from Mr.Thomas. Not sure what was the cause of the communication breakdown, but I am happy to say 'case closed'.

Ordered a Thomas case at the end of August, he told me it would be done in a month. I ended up cancelling the order in early November after he kept dodging my phone calls and texts. Now it's December and I'm still waiting for a refund. He initiated the refund on paypal, but never returned the funds....

Thanks all!

Jim, I do all my own transcribing.

Roger, I was thinking the same while working on this. Especially for that opening line.

Having a go at this Joaquin Murphey break. It's a great little break, and turned on a few lightbulbs in regards to navigating the C6 neck.

Here's my attempt at this great Sonny Garrish break, from Red Steagall's version of 'Someday You'll Want Me to Want You'.

I sent you an email.

Great pickin, love it!

Wow! Thanks so much! Made my day

Having a go at Buddy Emmons' solo on the Miles Davis blues tune, "Freddie Freeloader". Found this version on youtube, one of Bill Ferguson's great videos - entitled "2004 Choo Choo Reunion Buddy Emmons AUDIO ONLY" - if you want to check out the original. Miles really just ripped ...

Thanks for sharing, Paul! I love when country and jazz intersect

Thanks all!

This is great! Thank you for sharing

Hey Y'all, here's my take on Kenny Dorham's 'Blue Bossa'. Played on my Gibson Consolette tuned to C6 like the top 8 strings of a C6 pedal steel with D on top. Seems like a lot of the originators and heroes of the pedal steel started on non-pedal C6 tuning, and I thought it would be advantageous to f...

Hi Jerry, I'm interested - I sent you a PM

My take on the Horace Silver tune, The Preacher. I've been trying to piece together the back neck lately - it makes a lot of sense, but still a lot of work to go!
