The Steel Guitar Forum

What bewilders me is i have hoped that i would sell them here and donate a portion to the site and keep o...

This is the original rocket style lap steel which valco and airline went on to continually make. The National was not only the first of this style but the best. Here is why, This one comes with both magnets on each side of the coodertype pickup giving it an incredible sustain and tone. I also replac...

This lap steel works fine as it should. All original, has a tiny cap missing from one knob and some scratches here and there but otherwise in good shape. The volume knob does make some noise when turning but i keep it up so i don't worry. May need cleaner. The tone knob however makes no noise which ...

I am the second owner of this mint condition rare guitar. The reason it is already rare is it's serial number 2 from the National company in California. A coworker of mine bought this new in Nashville but never played it. I bought it from him and although i did play ragtime and blues mainly fingerst...

Greetings all whom may be concerned. I apologize for not contacting the seller the proper way. I let my passion get in the way of things and meant no harm. I love being part of this group and have learned alot of steel guitar so far along the way. A great bunch of guys and girls playing music is a b...

First of all, i'm fairly new but not looking for an excuse. I decided to list my guitar and should have just sent a personal message to the seller which i did do afterwards. How did my so called "horning in" hurt either of you guys. Maybe be a little less critical and a little more informa...

Hi Eric. Goodluck with selling your nice guitar. If i sell mine ill let you know asap. tom.

I have owned the Fender Strawberry blonde. Two different Fishman amps, A Marshall Acoustic amp, and a Yamaha THR 20 on the acoustic setting. By far, the finest best sounding amp for every kind of acoustic guitar with a pickup or being miked is the Ultrasound DS4. I used to not want to play my nylon ...

Hi all. I want to learn some tunes in this tuning and have the music but am not sure what set of string would be closest to this one. Would it be ok to get a set of open E strings and tune them this way or should i use C6 set or some sort of hybrid thingy. I realize string size matters with these tu...

Thanks. My email is tamardas@msn.com. I really appreciate this. I have figured most of the song out in open E but will give G a try.

Greetings if anyone has this great swinging tune in tab for C6 or open E please let me know. I don't mind giving out coffee money also for favors as we all need to wake up in the morning. I love Sol Hoopi's version and Sebastian Miller has one in High A bass but i currently don't have enough reperto...

Does anyone out there have a tablature of this great piece by Harrison? I would gladly throw a couple of bucks. I was hoping for one in either open E, D or C6. Thanks, tom.

The scotty fry pan is no longer for sale. Trade maybe but i don't know. Starting to get better at playing lap steel and this thing is amazing. I can't believe i was ready to sell it for a great price. The lord works in mysterious ways! Peace and love to all you player of guitar and this cool instrum...

Comes with amazing hard case and korg tuner with cable. Just put Open E set of strings on her. Amazing sound both clean and dirty. Powerful pickup. Looks like a horseshoe but i guess that part isn't actually magnetized. Either way it's amazing. I will accept 600 and will ship for an extra 25 in the ...
