That should work. Pack up the items and I will take care of you. Check the PM.

Sam: What does the 10 string weigh. If light enough for my heart failure I would buy it from you.

Sam is a good and honest fellow. Anything he built has quality to it. If I didn't have two 12's myself, I would buy his guitar. Someone needs jump on this deal.

Sorry to hear that. I sold James his Sierra guitar and visited him several times when he had his music store.

How much does it weigh?

Too bad you are not closer. I have worked on and owned several Sierra sessions. I'm in Lakeland.

Hi Randy

Knapper now from Florida

Here are a couple of pictures. I have a few extra of the larger plastic wings with bolt and could send two of them. I only have two of the normal size ones from the ones I ordered but want to hang on to them in case I might break one on my Sierra U12 Session. The larger ones have the same size bolt ...

The bolt part is easy to replace from any ACE hardware. I purchased some a while back. I also purchased a few of the black plastic wings from a plastic company in Arkansas, but that was about 20 years ago. I will look through my info and post it if I can find, otherwise a search for a plastics compa...

I have two of them for sale but for some reason the upload isn't working to add pictures. Send me your email address and I'll send pictures and info. One is a blue Jerico Steel Guitar and the other is a blue Cougar built by Freeman Cowgar. I made the Jerico Steel and the Cougar I bought in 1999. Fre...

Nice looking steel. Someone needs to grab this one.

I wish I was still in the steel business, I'ed grab this one. It would be so easy to turn it into a S10 or S12. But I'm old and have two Sierra's already.
Someone grab this.

I haven't decided yet to try it, but still am pondering. I know Buddy tried several different things. I was at the booth at Nashville NAMM when Sierra brought him a steel with a light gauge string in the middle of the strings. I asked him how to use it and he just said, "Hell I don't know. It j...

I certainly would not tune a C6th up or down to get an E6th tuning. I already have figured out the string gauge changes, just wondering if anyone else has done this. B-.010 G#-011 E -.015 C#-.017 B -.019 G#-.24w E -.o30w C#-.036w A -.044w E -0.058w I do use the 1-5-7 fretting, but on the 8 string th...

I play a 12U and a D10 at different places, or at least I did when we could get out and play. Now both of them sit next to each other and I change off and on during practice. On the 12U, of course I have a B6th tuning with the change lock and on the double the C6th so I have to know which fret plays...

I live in Citrus Woods Estates on Reynolds Road in Lakeland. I think I have some, but not all of those parts.

If your pending deal falls through, I'll take. It.

I believe most Sierras come standard with Emmon's setup, but are very easy to change to whatever you like.

Have one just like it. Sweet sounding steel.

I don't understand why there is no action on this steel?
Can anyone shed some light on it for me?
