Al, I'd like to buy it. PM sent.

I just wanted to second the recommendation for Ray at steel guitar parts, http://steelguitarparts.net/ for new legs.
He has either chrome-on-alloy or chrome-on-steel legs at a reasonable price and will custom make them to any length you need.
His service is excellent. I got a new set in one week.

Services will be held for Fred Justice at Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery, 7900 East Main Street, Mesa, Arizona 85207, on September 15th, 2022, viewing at 9:00 a.m. followed by funeral services at 10:00 a.m. Gravesite services for the family will follow.

Email sent requesting files. Thanks Andy.

I understand. Thanks Ken

I would like to be able to bypass the Pro-Fex when I don't need it without having to disconnect it. Is there a switchable bypass mode?

Chris,
Thanks for the threading tips. I was concerned about the threads not being straight. Sounds like it's not a big problem.

Hi Jay,
I would like to thread some 3/32 rods. I am concerned about how to get the die started straight. I saw your old post and was wondering where you got the knurled die stock. It looks like this would work better than the one with handles. Thanks for any advice...Bill

I appreciate the leads. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know of a source for standard chrome legs?
Thanks...Bill

Bill, how do we buy the CD? Thanks

That works. Thanks, John

I'm working on Blues Man. Great arrangement.
Thanks, Tony.

John, I haven't heard from you. If this is still available let me know how you want payment.
Thanks, Bill

John, I'll take it if it's still available.

I just received an SD-10 cover from Leann at Sharp Covers. A big thank you to Leann for a great job. The cover is made of high quality vinyl...fits perfectly and looks great.

Dick, I just downloaded your Beginner's Notes book and I must complement you. You have done an excellent job, which has to be a labor of love. I can't imagine the work you have put in to this collection of ideas for runs, fills, intro's and exercises. I thank you for this, and for all of your contri...

Kevin, thanks for the pickup suggestion.

Richard, thanks for your tip about the neck screws. I know I've gone thru it and made sure the all the screws were tight, so I'll try experimenting with the neck.

Bill

Thanks, Kenneth. It is in nice shape, a little fading, but unfortunately I learned on it and it has quite a few bar dings.
I don't know if anything can be done to fix that. I have read posts that talk about using an iron and damp cloth, but I'm a little afraid to try it.

Bob, I've got a Truetone in it now that helped a lot. I have an E-66 that I'm going to put in it. I've read some posts that say the E-66 made it too bright, but I'm going to see what happens. Thanks again for your feedback. I've read a lot of your posts and I know you've been an MSA man for a long t...
