The Steel Guitar Forum

Is this guitar still available at $2000? If so what would you figure shipping costs would be to Missouri?

Tim,
Hillcrest is still there, right down the street from me. Belton has probably tripled in size since 65, and Bruce is still down the road in Harrisonville making his great ZumSteels.

Wanting to start up a classic country band(Ray Price, Hank Sr., ect.) in the south Kansas City, Belton Mo region. Anyone know of any players who might be interested? I play lead guitar, some steel, and have played in working bands for years but have recently been away from it. Wanting to get started...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll find my way to Radio Shack for some electronic contact cleaner and give that a try. Brad, you may be right about the static electricity in the air, it's really dry here.

I hope you guys can help...which strings are the best? which give the best tone, stay in tune longer, and go between breaks longer?

Does anyone know the best Jeff Newman instruction for scales, fills, and or runs. New to steel and could use alot of fill help

Welcome Mr. Brumley,
This is my first day on the Forum, and finding your message here was a treat for me.

Thanks Ann,
I'll give them a try. Also wanted to say thanks to you and all there at Carter. The Carter Starter was probably the best thing I could get when I decided to buy my first steel.

I have been playing or trying to play psg for about 6 months. The Jeff Newman tapes and books are great, but I think a good teacher would benifit me as well. I am not new to music, been playing lead guitar for 35 years, but nothing I have done has prepared me for the humbling experience of trying to...

Mr. Brumley, I have played lead guitar in bands for years. I played the "Live at Carnagie Hall" album over and over until I hopefully could match Don Rich's outstanding guitar note for note. Got good enough to play the "Opry" once. I just started playing steel (or trying to play ...
