Does the "MaxTone" sticker come off? I would be interested in the guitar if that comes off.

Try headlamps, ones that have multiple brightness selections. You can also switch to red to protect your night (dimly light stage) vision.

Problem Solved.

I added an Electro Harmonix Knockout Attack Equalizer, and it provides plenty of fullness/ depth and a little bit of warmth to the sound. All the difference in the world compared to my Steelaire's natural sound.

$50 through Reverb.

Pete Nicholls, you were right. All the difference in the world compared to my Steelaire's native sound.

$50 through Reverb, BTW.

Tilted forward is more natural position, better on the wrists.

Will a graphic equalizer help or will it just mud-up the overall sound?

Quilter sound

To be clear regarding my earlier post, I also have a {15?} yr old Fender Bassman which I love with the steel. It's just heavy, I am getting older and the Steelaire does things the Bassman cannot, except sound good.

Quilter tone

I find the sound of my Steelaire to be thin, tin-like. I have George L pickups on my Mullen D-10.
Would other pick-ups provide a fuller, warmer sound? If so, which ones?
Thanks,
Jim

Peavey steel amps

I have said this before: Peavey's best steel amp was the Nashville 1000 and it is the benchmark of steel guitar sound. It is a shame they stopped making these fine amps with tremendous sound.

I just sold mine as I am using a Fender Bassman I refinished a few years ago.

The Nashville 1000 is the benchmark sound for the steel. Merle Haggard also plays his Tele through one.
