See my answer to Mike's posting. Your answer is what the 5 times trick is all about.

But truthfully, I wrote it for myself

Writing is one of the best ways of learning. Writing it out 5 times is magic; The 5th time a person can almost write it by memory, thus the "lesson(s)" well learned.

Yes, there's a 1 1/2 inch- wide horseshoe. No identifying decals such as "Ace" or "Academy"...Other than the color, it looks just like one I saw online which was called a "1930's model B..." By the way it sounds really nice. Of course , when it warms up all the strings...

Denny, it's exactly 23" - just like Nat Daniels to have a scale length in-between the Big Names and their 22.5" and 24" scale instruments. Cheers, LC ----------------------------- Thank You, Larry. I apologize for not thanking you until now. I've been quite ill with cancer, and after...

Good Evening Justin. If it would not be any trouble for you, could you post the scale length of this Dano lap steel? (From the front edge of the bridge block facing the fretboard ....to the rear edge of the neck nut facing the fretboard). I used to know but just can't find it in my OLD gray matter :...

Hey Mike ...it was snowing here in Hawaii last week too! Upper elevations of Mauna Kea (White Mountain ...Kea being the Hawaiian word for white, as in snow ...long before white people showed up). BUT.... Mauna Kea's sister, Mauna Loa (Long Mountain ...Loa being Hawaiian word for wide or tall) starte...

Michael,

Each USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail package size is the same FLAT RATE for all 50 USA States, not just "lower 48".

Very Best Wishes,

George, it would most likely help your sale if you told what power sources these pedals use, ...and provide a good photo of their wall-wart socket if they have one.

Michael Scott still sells the entire Jerry Byrd catalog, courses and arrangements.

Thank You Cartwright. That is good to know, because I also want to purchase a library of Jerry's tabs.

Very Best Wishes,

Hi Denny, I've just send you a email !

Thank You Sebastian. It is downloading as I type. I will reply to your email further as soon as I see what the 2 CDs are.

Thank You again and Very Best Wishes,

I bought Jerry's course when I studied under him at Harry's, mid 1990s. It had the audio on casette. It hardly plays after so many years. I would like to buy a CD copy of someone's audio on CD. It would not violate copyright because it's just a change in format for audio I already purchased, and bec...

Now, I'm curious about something. Since this guitar (Gibson-made Recording King Roy Smeck) is semi-hollow, and no pick guard or removeable back panel to access the interior, a luthier would have to remove the back of the guitar to fix the electronics, etc. Now I've noticed other RK's and Gibson's m...

Gotta tell the story ...it'll only hurt for a little while (thanks D.A.C.): I worked (brain-storming) with George Piburn during the early years of his Georgeboard steel guitars; What a joy that was. George is an absolute Artist, keen dedication to details and perfection, and a confident visionary .....

Steve, Here's some comprehensive details that might help you in your quest to solve your Valco "bunker" (strings-through) pickup problem. I've encountered 3 "bunker" pickup Valco steel guitars with the very same symptoms you describe for yours , ...and helped several FoBros in th...

Bob, If you find that rubber end caps (feet) is what you want, then the Fleabay link below is search results where you can find just about any size, color, shape, etc. But it occurred to me that rubber end caps might interfere with pac-a-seat legs folding into their closed position. .... (For the li...

Well, i guess i got one of those then, just didn't know its name. I was thinking of the later style wedge shaped bodies. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/3591_BBBEarly1946KFPrincetonSGFglennWilde_1.jpg Glenn, Now that's a rare bird indeed, lucky dog!

Note: all short scale. Stephen, Thank You for noticing and pointing out that all of the Deluxe models we've all found are short scale. I forgot / failed to mention it; ...and scale lengths for trap pickup Deluxes is what led me to find this SGF discussion in the first place; Go figure! :? I am sear...

Joe Roberts asked: "I have never seen a Deluxe with the boxcar pickups and/or with roman numeral boards. Has anyone? Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a D6 with them either." Glen Wilde commented: "Come to think of it, i can't recall one. It seems logical that they would exist though,...

Stephen, Thank You for the info and photo. I stumbled upon this SGF discussion while searching for some related info ...which led to finding & compiling so much research info and photos that it led to combing and condensing the info and photos that would help nail down some details still not res...
