The Steel Guitar Forum

Herb definitely had the right idea going with 4 legs. The overall design of the Steelmasters is great. I really like my D-8 and feel lucky that I snagged it when I did. These come up every now and then on the forum at around the same price, but usually come with a soft case - rarely do they include ...

Mark - I have one of Herb's D-8's and the legs are shiny, no pitting, corrosion,... - but a magnet will stick to them. I did a quick check of the weight - and all four legs together come to about 6.7 lbs (if that helps) Good luck with your sale ! (- these are nice steels - if I wasn't tapped out rig...

Same here - I just can't get used to (or very accurate) with finger picks even with lap/console 3/8" string spacing. I'm primarily an under arm guitar player too. Thumbpick is fine though. I've been tempted to try acrylic nails ever since I've watched Johnny Hiland using them for both chicken p...

That definitely looks like the Popular Mechanics DIY steel project - and a great job I might add.

This is the tuning that is described with the original article - hope it helps.

I could be mistaken - but the main difference between the Justice S10 jr and the newer S10 is that the original S10 jr had a 2 raise/1 lower changer which would pretty much limit you to an E9th copendent. The newer S10 triple raise/triple lower changer can be set up for not only E9th but C6th (I hav...

Bob - What is the string spacing at the bridge ?

Ron - Not sure how long gauged rollers have been an option for Justice PSG's - I bought my Pro-Lite in 2014 - so at least that far back. - J.D.

Just popped "Compensators" into a search - plenty to read.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Researching into buying a used Carter Uni and I've noticed that changers are either triple raise/lower or 4 up/2 down (unless I'm mistaken).

Wondering if this had to do with the move to BCT in the 90's ? - or some other reason ?

I shipped an Encore 3x5, with pad, several months ago - exactly 42 lbs shipping weight on FedEx scales.

* And the case alone is about 13 lbs

The tuning that I asked Bill to put on it - is from here. https://b0b.com/wp/copedents/maurice-andersons-tunings/#C6thLap As Bill has been sending me progress photos I've watched the quality and detail that he puts into his instruments. I am really looking forward to playing it. (and practicing a lo...

This is my understanding about using paypal's "goods and services" vs. "friends and family". When the purchaser uses "goods and services", they are protected - if the item doesn't show up, is damaged, not as advertised, etc,... - you can open up a dispute with the selle...

Johnny Hiland uses Elixir Nanoweb (. 009–. 042) strings - (Greg's Amazon link.)

I have a couple of 10 year old Jeff Newman finger picks that came pre-formed - just like the ones Eddie Rivers is wearing in the photo.


Tried to zoom in and see if they have the diamond shaped holes - but I can't really tell.

Is there a HS case? Herb sold them with cases, typically. Hard shell cases may have been included when Herb started offering these (early 90s ?), but I had gotten a quote on a T8 in 2015 and only a soft gig bag was included - hard shell case was additional $$$. (a Remington D8 showed up on the foru...
