I should have put incase I decide to bid. Looks like it will probably be ending at a price way over what my budget will allow. For some reason I thought the listing was ending today. It is a beauty though. If it stays under a grand, maybe I'll try to sneak in a bid at the last minute. Thanks so muc...

Whatta you think?

Have you guys seen this 1954 fender deluxe 8 lapsteel on eBay? It looks very cool to me. Just hoping to get some feedback on it before I bid. Auction on eBay. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brad Bechtel on 24 June 2006 at 03...

I think that price is very reasonable price for a BRAND NEW (not used) Black Lighning w/case. It is beautiful and sounds fantastic. And the fact you get to deal with an honest and very reputable person that stands behind EVERYTHING he sells. Although Folk of the Woods IS {deleted}. it does not come ...

I own a Roustabout. I got it because of the price and I was just getting back into playing. I also have a Regal resonator. But I still like the Roustabout. It is a good playing little acoustic steel. Plus it has personality. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif As far as vs. a dobro, the sound will...

This is an 'okay' program I have used in the past. I didn't purchase it, I just used it in demo mode for a while. You can check it out here: http://www.astoundit.com/products/guitarshed/index.html Have fun!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Cindy Burch...

Ah ha ..... he neglected to tell you you had to buy fourteen sets of strings and use only ONE out of each package.

Hey Ron. I see nothing wrong with posting how excited or happy you were with your purchase. That's kinda part of what this forum is all about. Ain't it? I don't post much, but I get a lot of information and quite few laughs reading. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif Actually ya never where where...

Hey Ron. I taught standard acoustic years ago at a local YMCA. I have taught a few of my friends children a year or so back. Teaching children was always easier for me. They are just more open minded sometimes. You usually sign them up for a six week program. You could have it where you teach a clas...

Yes sir Mr. Gregertsen. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif It's nice to deal with someone who is doing what they do because they love it and and have pride in their work. Not to mention the fact of being a player also. ooops .... I mean Steel guitar player. http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif <F...

I don't understand basilh, are you saying you want Chuck to send you a replacement without you returning the original one he shipped first? For some reason that doesn't make sense to me. If I want to exchange anything at a store or anywhere. I couldn't see them letting me, without first handing over...

Thanks so much, Eddie.
I just checked and it's not there. Since it's out of print it's not gonna be easy to find.

Thanks for the great link though!

Does anyone have any idea where I can find this? I have already checked eBay and it isn't there.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

No head shot was allowed. http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif It was early in the morning and I didn't have my face on http://steelguitarforum.com/eek.gif That Roustabout is fine for around the campfire. Same as playin an accoustic standard. I just like it cause its simple, light weight yet still p...

Here is a link to Chucks Stringmaster. There is a video and a picture here. Boy can he play it. It sounds great. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif http://homepage.mac.com/cbdyermaker/Menu1.html <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Cindy Burch on 04 N...

Here are 2 links of a short video of me playin or tryin to play my first song. No snickering Please. I'm practicing. http://home.comcast.net/~cbburch/clips/Roustabout.mov http://home.comcast.net/~cbburch/clips/Roustabout.AVI I think you need quick time to play it. Let me know if either of these work.

Hey Justin. That Roustabout isn't real loud. We have a little travel trailer out on some land in Wills Point and I take that Raustabout out there. It is small and easy to carry around. It isn't as loud as my Regal. But it is a standard not a Resonator. As far as the strings I still have the original...

Hey Richard I'm sorry. I thought you were talkin' about the bar. There is a black on that is extra hard. Duh.. brain burp. As far as rounded tip goes I have no prob. with pull offs and it seems like I have more control over where I hit the string. Everyone has there own preference I guess. On the sp...

Richard if your bar is a Rajah. I have a Red Rajah.
It is Metal with a powder coating.
Kinda sticks in my hand but not to the strings.
I'm not sure how they make it.

Thanks Stephen.
I'm doin okay with the Stevens.
But I still like the Rajah I can't put it away.
It works great for me. I like the round tip too.
So I will use both depending on what music I am playing.

Hey Richard. It just looks plastic. It is coated black. How do you like playing it? And the sound? I don't know much about Reso's, but I don't think a plastic spider would work at all.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Cindy Burch on 31 October 2003 at...

Thanks everyone for the great info. I think I will stick with the RD45. I like the wider string spacing and the tone quality is fine for the price. I don't think I will do any upgrading. For a beginner it is okay. If I want to spend more money it will be MUCH later. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile...

Okay, now that I have learnt my first song. I am having so much fun here I want to get a Resonator. I am gonna keep this little Roustabout it is a great instrument. But I have been lookin' at a couple Reso's- Since I don't have a lot of cash, got to go low end. I will gladly accept donations towards...

Oh, wait the new one is Much better for beginners.
Frets come in handy for me.
Too bad its out of my price range right now.
This guy has quite an in-magination!
