The Steel Guitar Forum

Lots of good comments and suggestions here Jim. If you are looking for clarity at a distance you are going to need a real lens with decent glass and maybe a good tripod. I think it is always going to be a compromise to lock off a camera for an hour to shoot the band at a distance. Mike's Gopro idea ...

Hey Mike, I'm the proud owner of one of Larry's previous Excels and I too can vouch for the NYXL strings on that scale guitar with the same keyless head style that seems to be on your guitar. It does look like there is an unnatural groove on the top of the changer on the Robostar that would seem to ...

I'm thinking that painting on the Meccano Box is giving the pictures of the Williams a little competition. The old man smoking a pipe in the soft glow of the kid's curiosity is quite striking! I have to chime in once again with a positive alumitone experience. It has such a low noise floor that it i...

Beautiful Guitar. I notice that the alumitone is closer to the strings on the Bass side. Did they set it up like that? Do you find it makes a difference? Enjoy!

That is great Mike. Beautifully relaxed. That song has such a great melody.

Hey David, I've got no insight but I just wanted to say I chuckled out loud at your signature. Thanks-

That would be the rub, if the actual pivot points were different when comparing the standard to the pro.

Not being an owner of any of the Hilton's I too have been curious and thinking about the Pro Guitar Model. The way I see it, the Pro Model will allow you to use any of the myriad of 9v power supplies that we all seem to have floating around. Because the warranty on these pedals is relatively short, ...

Hey Dave, I just sent you a pm for a flag order. Thanks, Marshall

If you want some low end with a bunch of other useful functionality take a look at Larry Allen's 10 string extended E9 copedent. The bottom 3 strings are tuned E-B-E. The low E 10th string will drop to C# on a lever. The 9th string B will move from A to C# on a pedal and lever combination. Finally t...

Cool Stuff C.D.!

Hey Benjamin, did you ever resolve your tuning problem with the Excel? I am having a similar issue with my guitar and I'm not sure what is going on. On my 4th string fingers, it seems that once they are tuned to raise and lower (in my case whole tones up and down on certain pulls) the string does no...

Guitar is sold, please close.

ttt new price

Forgot to mention that the guitar all packed up in the case comes in at 39 LBS-

Updated Price to include shipping. Beautiful Mahogany all wood Hudson PR-10. This guitar has a Pull-Release Changer and very solid, straightforward mechanics. Super smooth Grover Tuners. It has been upgraded with an Alumitone Pickup and the electronics are DEAD QUIET. The pickup is mounted on finish...

Hey Michael, all of the above suggestions are great. If you are in or around Westchester County let me know and maybe I can help you out. My bet is that there is something wrong at the jack solder point. Hairline crack or maybe the shield has somehow broken off somewhere. An ohm meter is definitely ...

Hey Paul, I'll take it if the other offer falls through. I'm in Westchester, NY. Thanks

That's great Bill. I think having some experience on Lap Steel is helpful in understanding bar placement and overall intonation. I'm in a similar boat but I started up in March. There is so much to absorb on the road to nuance and finesse. I tell people that it is almost like playing drums in the se...

Hey Mickey, I just received my Drive back. Thank you for all of the info/lessons/tracks that you put together! It is an amazing amount of material and a great reference. With any luck I'll be able to absorb something and integrate it into my own thing. Thanks again for your generosity. Donation on t...

Hey Bill, I will second your praise of the Lace Alumitone. I swapped out a BL705 in a Hudson PR10 that I recently purchased and it made a huge difference. The noise floor of the Lawrence pickup was on the edge of intolerable for a recording project I was working on. The Alumitone pickup was noticeab...

Hey Mickey, you are a real treasure trove of talent and teaching skills. I have only been playing for about 5 months and I can't thank you enough for all the info you have made available on the internet. I would really like to delve in to the book so I will be sending you a drive to take you up on t...

Hey Carl, I'm curious about the armrest on that guitar. Did you make it or did it come from Hudson? I have a 10 string Hudson that I would like to add an armrest to but the design of the guitar's endplates means something other than a 90 degree angle. Thanks-
