The Steel Guitar Forum

Last weekend I was working in the shop and really wanted to hear some lap steel instrumentals. I have a bad habit of using music selection as a procrastination tool so I tried searching for a playlist to get me started. There wasn't much. A couple collections that included pedal steel (gross, haha) ...

Hello, I have a Celtic Cross Weissenborn that I'm looking to sell. I wanted to get a little info (wood type specifically) and tried to find the company online. It looks like the site is down and I can't find contact info outside of a facebook page that hasn't been updated recently. Does anyone have ...

Is this still available?

Wow. Thanks. Looks amazing

Got this out of storage yesterday. How would you go about cleaning it up?

Thanks

Thanks Doug. Very helpful info.

one more picture.

thanks

Found this in a local shop. Sticker is $1,000. Said they would sell it for $850. It has no legs, nor sockets to even connect legs. No case. 2 outputs, but they are both the old style connectors. What would be a reasonable offer for it? thanks guys, http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/2731_pho...

Do you know the weight in the case and the dimensions of the case?

thanks,

I started tuning CGCDGC after figuring out a song by Tin Hat Trio. I really didn't miss the third as much as I thought I would. And you now also have a 5 chord without moving and a 6 chord 2 frets up. I like having another voicing somewhere else on the guitar without going 12 frets up.

thanks for the help guys.

Also, it wouldn't have to be a formal, weekly type of lesson. Maybe an hour or two here or there when schedules allow.

thanks,

I'm hoping to find a teacher in the city. I've been playing for about 10 years and have hit a rut. I'm looking for someone to help me focus my practice time.

I'm looking for a S10. 3P at least 3K. Double or triple raise/lower. This guitar will be mainly for traveling so, please send along the dimensions of the case, and the overall weight. I'm looking to spend around $800-900. another $100 if you could help me set it up to the configuration i use. I live...

Could you post the weight in the case, and the dimensions of the case please?

thanks,

I've been looking at getting a smaller guitar for traveling purposes. I wish I could keep my 12 string but can't really afford to keep both around. Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of trading my MSA 12 (7p5k)for some sort of 10 string. Something that would fit in an overhead compartment of a plane. ...

I am also a huge fan. I've transcribed, and re transcribed several of his solos. Hopefully some of you have been lucky enough to see Bill Frisell's Disfarmer project. Ive seen it once as a trio with Jenny Scheinman on violin. The next time the same trio with Victor Krauss added on bass. Anyway, I re...

Does anyone have this book in pdf format? I would pay for copies. I tried contacting John McGann, the transcriber, but the email address on his website no longer works.

thanks,

I bought my 12 string MSA 1984ish about 8 years ago for around $1,300. I've just started looking for a simple S-10 that would be much easier to transport and they seem to start at that same price if not more. I don't really want to sell the 12 string, but I may have to to afford a single 10. On a re...

Thanks for the advice guys.

I'll get to work on your suggestions.

I'm normally a pedal steel player, but about 2 month ago I purchased an 8 string lap steel and have been having tons of fun with it. But now I need to get serious. In about 6 weeks I have a series of shows booked where, because of logistics, I have to play lap instead of pedal. The group will be aco...

Thanks for all the help guys. Sorry I just got the message. I talked the local shop into dropping the price on the Supro so I took it. Lucky for me when I walked in and asked to plug it in it initially didn't work. The repair tech took it back to the shop twice and finally got it working. Helped me ...

I found a local store that has a 1961 Supro. Single 8 in good condition with legs and case. The asking price is $995. That is overpriced, but by how much? Could anyone ballpark how much those are worth?

thanks,

todd

I've been playing a National Chicago 6 string model and love the tone. What would you recommend as a comparable 8 string? I see a lot of double neck vintage guitars of the National/Supro type, but not very many single necks. I would love to get a Fender, but its out of my price range right now. Has ...

Rick,

Actually, Reece showed me this tuning.

I'll check out the site.

thanks,
