The Steel Guitar Forum

Do you have a list of the vendors that will be attending this year?

Thanks ... will do.

I wanted to see if the forum members could give me some feedback on something I recently experienced. About two months ago I started hearing a significant hum in my rig. I changed cords, switched amps, swapped volume pedals, & checked out the pickup. When I used one of my other guitars, no signi...

Guitar has been sold. Donation to forum will follow after deal is complete. Thanks to everyone for their questions and interest.

Thanks,
Jack

I've enclosed better pictures. As regards some of the questions that I have received: 1) The backside and upper neck are the areas with the worst dings/scratches/worn areas. I want to make certain that these are known and visible. 2) When I originally bought the guitar, the right hand side of the ca...

Will have pictures by Saturday night. Thanks for everyone's interest.

Took some pictures tonight ... will post and pass along to those that requested some - as soon as I get them loaded on my computer.

I'm also going to try and make it to the Texas Convention that's coming up. If so, I may bring the guitar along if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Jack

I apologize for not having posted any new pictures ... I don't have a digital camera; but - my daughter does & we'll have some available in the next few days. Here is the setup from when I purchased the guitar: #1 LKR +1/2 #2 RKR -1/2 #3 B +1/2 #4 C +1, LKL +1/2, RKL -1/2 #5 A +1, C +1 #6 B +1/2...

I will get some better pictures and post. There is no problem with the string that's not hooked-up. It's actually just the connector rod on the undercarriage that is missing. I just never got around to replacing it.

ShoBud S-12, 3 x 4 for sale. Black - good mechanical condition. RKR has one string disconnected. Lots of bar dings and scratches on the body - has been played out locally for @ ten years. Guitar plays and sounds good. If interested, I can provide better pictures. These posted are just from a webcam....

What is the weight in the case?

Thanks..

Thanks ... I appreciate it - I will be there on the 28th.

I will be in Austin during the latter part of June 09. Any suggestions for places to go to hear some good steel players? Thanks ...

I would like to help a friend that is looking for a mechanically sound S10-3x4. The cosmetic condition and/or brand are not important. He has been playing a ShoBud Maverick ... he's ready to move to another guitar ... great musician, plays a lot of instruments. I told him that I would post this &...

I have a S12 that I bought @ ten years ago. It has been a real workhouse for me ... stays in tune really well.

Gig with S-12 weekly ... used it most recently at a Tom Paxton show in my hometown.

Thank you guys ... I really appreciate the feedback. My friend is planning on recording at the "Watchman's" studio ... I am looking forward to making the trip. I will check back with you all in a few months after things are finalized for the trip. Peer: I would also like to check back with...

I hope to be in the Netherlands this Aug09 - doing some studio work & a few gigs.

Any suggestions/contacts for renting a E9th,S10 or S12,3x4?

I'm reluctant to travel with LDG -- banged it around enough on local gigs.

It might work well for my purposes. I will check back with you in a few days.

In accord with Mr. Doggett's comments,I was asked last week if my steel was "...tuned the same way as a xylophone..."

Farris: Some thoughts for you. About two weeks ago - at the end of a gig - I noticed a strange "hum" coming from my N112. I thought at the time that it was a bad cord- so, I basically ignored it. When setting up early last night, the hum was still there. I tried every possible combination ...

I have never met Lloyd - but, I can also attest to him being a nice person. I bought a LDG a few years ago from him. During the course of our conversations, I had mentioned to him that my father lived in the Austin area. When I related my concerns about shipping the guitar to Oklahoma, he offered to...

Nothing this weekend .... but, I have a gig at Cain's in Tulsa this next Tuesday night.

You might want to check-out the one that was posted for sale on 02/20/2005.

Ron:

Thank you for the input ... I had done a "search" ... obviously it was not worded very well!

Thanx
