Hey Nick! I recently had a similar problem! Got a used Williams 2 months ago and had to lift mine up, ended up with rods too short. I went on Amazon and got these hex stand-offs and they worked great for me. I’ve got multiple on all my rods, so it definitely looks a little goofy right now, but it’s ...

Extendable Legs; Keeping Consistent Equal Height

So, I just got a new guitar in last week. It’s got extendable legs, which are much needed as I’m 6’4. And while I think I’ve got the height set to an appropriate height for my body, I’m having trouble getting all the legs set up to equal height. So for those of you out there with extendable legs, ho...

Allan and Andrew, like I said, I'm new to the instrument. And while I know 6th tunings are/can be popular among the slide players, I'm not really familiar with them. I just saw the structure of the Maj9 tunings and figured I'd see what it would be like to flip the major-minor structure of the triads...

Anybody ever try Gmin11 Tuning?!? (GBbDFAC)

I'm new to the dobro and a tinkerer. I like messing around with tunings to get a better grip on how all the notes relate. After coming across Gmaj9 and Gmaj9/#11 here on the forum and messing around with them, I wondered what it would be like to reverse those major and minor intervals. With Gmaj9 fr...

Thanks so much for providing that email exchange, Dustin! I know I'm not the only one who loves Leisz's playing and I've spent time every couple of months over the last several years popping in to see if anyone had info on his copedent and this is the first I've seen of it actually explained in any ...

Thanks guys for the welcome! I appareciate it! Jon and Tucker, I agree with both of your general sentiments. I'm sure there's a lot of guitars that would work. And I know that Leisz has played several different brands. I think it's largely like 6 string guitar for me. Different guitars will have dif...

Resonator with benders (need Instagram account to view)

Just came across this on Instagram the other day. Thought it would be of interest to some people, especially among those looking for the Paul Franklin Pedabro tones. The gentleman playing plays in the current lineup of Old Crow Medicine Show. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CRpY5zGjJHZ/?utm_source=ig_w...

Don't know, but I'm following this thread because I'd also like to know.
