The Steel Guitar Forum

2002 LL II, SD-10, 4x5 Tidewood White. Best I have ever played on.

You should contact the US Postal Inspectors and file a complaint. This is mail fraud and is taken very seriously, a Federal case in fact. They have offices in major cities, I know Houston and Dallas have offices. Perhaps a forum member that lives near an office and pick up the necessary forum and ma...

You can buy the kit from Emmons on their website. I bought a new LeGrandeII earlier this year and added a vertical to it.

Yes they are available on CD from Paul's web site. I just recieved my CD's, great service!

Regards, Patrick

Bobbe (Seymour) has them and will be happy to sell them to you...by the gross if you like ...Steel Guitar Nashville in the links section.

Regards, Patrick

Here's a radical idea...plug them into an amp and listen. If it sounds good it's a good guitar! Too many musicians listen with their eyes rather than their ears.

Regards, Patrick

I have been doing that for 30 years. Just seemed like the logicial thing to do.

Ever play an acoustic guitar with a plywood top? Compare it to a Martin or Gibson, etc. with a solid spruce top. That's the point. Plywood has it's uses, however musicial instrument construction is not one of them.

Regards, Patrick

plywood is plywood..no matter what you call it.

Randy also got to me for ninety dollars, two years or so and no parts. I have since talked to a number of people who have had the same problem. I am thankful I didn't order a steel from him! When dealing with this guy, "Buyer Beware".

Perhaps a new Association of Texas Steel Players is in order. I for one would support it. I intend to continue to smoke my pipe, if the "Smoke Nazi's" don't like it...Well Don't let the doorknob hit you in the butt on your way out the door! I will no longer support the TSGA in any fashion....

Mike, Yes they do and Peavey does!! I buy Peavey products because of the quality...and the customer support. Peavey obviously "cares" and it shows. I have an older N400, a N1000 that I purchased about 6 months ago which is SUPER. I just purchased a DeltaFex yesterday. I have never used any...

Steve, I added self adhesive non-slip material to my pedals, works fine. I think I picked it up at Home Depot or Lowes. Just cut it to size, peel and stick. The knee lever is not adjustable. Mine sounds fine, I play it through a Nashville 400 w/ peavey mod. I also have a Nashville 1000, but the Cart...

You will find most of the A teams near Fayetteville, North Carolina. Those not deployed to Afgantistan or other un named locations are probably hanging out around "smoke bomb hill" or there abouts. They don't do much steel playing..no time.

You guys better quite smokin' that stuff, it's illegal and not good for you either!


I bought my 1000 from Bobbe (actually Brandy, which is better) and you are correct. Bobbe is a class act and I have been happy with everything I've bought from him.

Regards, Patrick

Everyone should own a "Maverick"...once. It will make you really appreciate a real steel. I started on a Fender 400..the Maverick was a step up, it had a knee lever..w0w. Bobbe you would sound good playing a cigar box with strings acrossed it, some of us (me) don't have that kind of talent...

Jamie,

Visit the Carter Website and you can hear the different Lawrence and GeoL pu's. I use a GeoL 10-1 on my wood neck Sho-Bud and really like it. I listened to them all , chose the 10-1 and I am very satisfied with the sound of my Sho-Bud.

Regards, Patrick

I use a 400 and a 1000. My Sho Bud sounds best through the N1000, it has a GeoL 10-1 pu. My Carter with a Lawrence pu sounds better throught the N400 w/ Peavey mod. In both cases the reverb is great, but I use just a little about 2 or 3 on either amp. I have no plans to get rid of either, I am satis...

Justin Ropers with leather soles. Been playing in them for so long I can't play in anything else. LOAFERS ????? in TEXAS...are you kidding??

Regards, Patrick

It's the sound. If it has the sound the rest I can adapt to or change to suit me. I have an old Sho-Bud and a new Carter, in both cases it was the sound of the particular steel that made me want to "know" her. If it doesn't have "the sound" the rest doesn't matter. Regards, Patrick

If you drive drunk you should lose your driving priviledge (it's not a right) for LIFE. Use a designated driver if you want to go bar hopping. I see nothing wrong with drinking in moderation...but when it leads to drunk driving or family violence it should not be tolerated. My 19 year old son was ki...

Recently purchased a "PETERSON VS-1" strobe handheld tuner. It will do it all. Tunes down to 16 Hz. Flat or sharp notes by 0.1 cents steps. Stores tempered tunings. I am very impressed with it. It is also very very stable. Cost more, but money well spent, in my opinion.

I have always used Dunlop .020 brass fingerpicks. Tried others but the Dunlops work best for me. The correct angle of attack is important...and comfort, four hours is a long time if your fingers hurt.
