Are the 933 Gotohs mentioned the same as Sd90 3+3? They look like the old Klusons and the only ones I can find.

Do the end plates have leg sockets in them ?

Thankyou everyone, lots to think about there

I think the title says it all , don’t know what I’m chasing, maybe an A6 tuning to put on the front of my D10. No pedals at this stage and maybe string gauge suggestions.

Thanks for your service Al

In Melbourne Australia in my early 20’s, in my circle, Viva Terlingua was #1 for a couple of years and was the building block for a lot of local bands.

Gary , I’ll take the pup if you will ship to Australia. I’ll pay the extra shipping of course. PM to follow

The first photo he looks like Jethro Bodine

This record probably came out in the 70's sometime. I am after the record or preferably an electronic download copy CD copy and willing to pay of course. As I am in Australia a download is the most convenient for me .
Hope someone has a copy.

Sorry if this has been shown before , I just found it:

Thanks Ron , that sounds good !

Thanks Dave . I find it hard to compare volume on different notes ! I think I'll leave well enough alone .

Does anyone fiddle with the allen head screws in the pickups ? I've never really noticed they appear to be adjustable , saying that I've always been pretty happy with my guitar .

One of my favourite instrumentals.It's a pity they took down the video from youtube .

I remember reading somewhere that he threw that Sho-Bud into the mud on the banks of the Thames in disgust .

Happy trails Bob

Oh man ! If I was in the States this would be coming home with me !

I bought the book from the suggested site university press but could not get the download to work . I bought it again on amazon and am now able to read it on my kindle . Still cheaper than shipping a book out to Australia .

Thankyou Bob for all you have done for steel guitar . In a steel guitar backwater like Melbourne Australia you gave us a way to connect with the steel guitar world . The help I have received from steelguitarforum has been immeasurable !

Just to clear things up a bit . The original song Psycho recorded by Eddie Noack , Jack Kittel and lots of others , was written by Leon Payne after he “saw”the movie Psycho . The Santa song is basically Leon’s song with new lyrics by Thirsty Dave and Western Caravan . Do I have that right ?

Oh man ! You have to admire his persistence and efforts to get it just right . If I was doing that and wasn’t happy after 10 takes I would be ready to give up . Get someone else to do it . What guitar is he using ? Do others here a bit of breakup from his amp ? Sound so sweet . Anyway it was reassur...

Hey Rick , I like the idea of the junction box . Are you using a screw in type joiner or are they soldered in ?

Thanks for filling me in . That’s a real shame !

Thanks for the replies . I’m not too good with wiring diagrams . I tried with a different lead and different amp and it seems a lot quieter . One position is still louder than the other .
