What's a decent price on a Nashville 400 with and without modifications done to it?

Thanks Michael.

I keep hearing about a mod done to the Nashville 400. What are the mods for?

I'm really new to the Steel Guitar World.

Hey Chas- I meant to answer the email you sent me. Just been really busy lately. I do also notice that that string is quite a bit quieter. Kinda annoying. I'll probably try changing the string to a different size as suggested. I've only had my starter for about a week now and it's been one of the mo...

I remember playing with a steel player some time back that said he couldn't wear cowboy boots for some reason when he played. So I ask the question, are there certain types of shoes or boots you wear or try to stay away from? I wear a size 12 and some tennis shoes or boots I wear can be wide. Anybod...

Any thought on this video?

Yeah. Thanks. I have been pokin' around on it and I'm figuring stuff out. Such a beautiful instrument. The intro. tape isn't that great. He kind of rushes through tuning and it doesn't really show which levers he's moving. It's almost like he's talking to someone who knows which levers he's talking ...

Hey guys. Wow, I have to say this Carter Starter seems pretty nice. Sounds good too through my Super Reverb. I've shared the stage with a handful of steel players over the past 7 years so I kind of have an idea of what sounds I like and don't like. I'm sure that'll change. Right now I'm using my Ern...

Are the knee levers D,E,& F from left to right from behind the steel?

Are there any good sites with a good introduction to the steel guitar. Maybe not a history but explaining the strings, tunings, pedals, what the knee levers are called?

thanks...

Hey Gene. What have you bought of Jeff Newman's that you've liked? Where do you buy his stuff? Thanks.

Oh no way! This SR is here to stay.

Hello guys. This is my 1st post to the SGF. Seems like a great place. I've been reading alot here the past couple of weeks but just joined. Anyhow, I just bought my 1st steel guitar (a Carter Starter). I spent the last 3 1/2 hours putting it together, tuning it and watching the starter video. WOW! W...
