Kenny Davis wrote:Pretty cool seeing Lloyd playing, but I wonder why Connie or her label didn't have Weldon play?

Probably because by now Weldon was fully into studio work and either didn’t have time to do it, or Lloyd was “hotter” at the moment and they wanted to show him off.

Silas, I think Ricky has a point with the picture of Hal you posted showing a two-tone (blonde maple top) D10. Lem's guitar has no blonde maple anywhere on the cabinet! Unless it's been painted?! Also the side-of-neck inlay is a totally different design. Lem's has the wooden star-of-david design (1...

My guess is a 74ish wood neck emmons. He used those in the studio alot around that time.

I know this thread is old, but I thought I’de show the 65 wrap of Weldon’s I have thanks to Kelcey O’neil, and My 71 fatback played by Weldon on the opry/ with area code 615 on the Johnny Cash show. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/20305_9D61E5634DE04AA89D2B1B2C83C8C8C5_1.jpg https://bb.s...

I was under the impression this was Hal's guitar. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=336991&sid=094e627e2999567bd7be61371feaf602 I believe it resides in Vermont. Hal played many different buds in the 60’s. He even had a crossover at the same time he played that blonde permanent. He...

All my previous Sho~Bud guitars have had nylon tuners, so this is a first for me, but I just picked up a fingertip model. The previous owner told me that it was built in 1966 and that at one time it belonged to Hal Rugg. It has had some updates, such as the enclosed tuners and the dust catcher fret...

For sale is my super clean 1973 pro I. The red color and birdseye figuring in the maple are stunning. No cracks in the finish, one slight scuff in the center of the apron in the lacquer and on the left endplate. The lacquer scuff should buff out, I haven’t tried. It has the coveted brass 2 hole pull...

Like new steelaire rackmount head in a gator road case. Everything works how it should, just doesn’t give me the sound I like. $850 obo https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/20305_B778A67EF614430C957ED377C70AED23_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/20305_6697D29624264D20B33968076...

Does it still have his reversed pedals on it? Like A pedal lowering 5&10 to B from C# instead of raising like he played in that era?

Somebody has probably told you this, but bigsby’s and especially ones in that kind of condition go for BIG money.

I have no #1042D! Brother guitars!

(SOLD) Here is my 66 Fingertip. Currently has 3 levers and 8 pedals. Original pickups, and has the coil tap at 10k. Original case aswell. I’m asking $3k, or I’ll consider trades for pre 75 push pulls, pre 75 shobuds or solid all pull D10’s. I’m open for about anything of quality! The e9 setup is F l...

Thanks so much Ricky! Means the world coming from you!

Here’s my take on the great instrumental from the 1979 album “Pedalman”. https://youtu.be/I1KYghUU4x8

Here’s my 67. She’s a stout ol’ girl.

Plus listen to Weldon on Tommy Overstreet's If love was a bottle of wine.

Those are great! I know how to play the lick i just want the 45 for sake of my favorite players!

Would anybody happen to have the “1 pedal, 2 finger, 3 string song” by Hal Rugg and Weldon Myrick on vinyl? Thanks.

Sold. Please Close.

A black emmons badge, off a 67 bolt on that was sent back to the factory for service. $20 plus shipping.

My 1966 Fingertip

I can do these Hal licks, somewhat. I no joke work on them nonstop for hours, until my hand cramps. And still can’t really do them. They are really difficult because it’s not just hammering on, its pulling off back towards yourself at that speed.

It could be the bar your using. Try a different bar and see if that helps.
