George Guard Nashville 112 knob guard

I ordered one, a few years too late I'm afraid as the first bit of damage was a bent knob from who knows what, maybe a paper cup hit it thx for providing this thingamajig

Thanks Mickey, I am truly thankful for all the info and suggestions - I am NOT well versed, far from it - that's what happens when you treat something as complex and fantastic as Pedal Steel as a off and on "hobby"

Thanks again!

well well well, after oiling it up and putting it aside and having some coffee, a thought occurred to me - when I bought the guitar way back I pretty much put it and the Emmons away because too much was going on. So I thought to myself, since I haven't ever changed the strings - what if the 4th stri...

Well hey there Les. I went ahead and tried that approach again - backing off all hex adjusters on the 4th string fingers until no lever or pedal changed anything. (1) Then tuned open string to E - (2) Adjusted all the raises first (LKL(F) / C pedal(F#) / LKL2 (F#) (3) Adjusted the lower (LKR) - same...

Lane, I don't see anything different than before - it all started when I started turning the wrong hex nuts :) and can't find my way back home John - yep that would be another change (Right knees) I couldn't handle Gary, that hex nut is actually black and I've messed it up too because I can't get it...

Lane , no cap screw . I really messed up by adjusting everything in and out on that 4th changer - to no avail. No matter what I do, in the end that little bugger will not flatten down to D#. The split tone is gone but the half stop is still there (in other words it still goes halfway down, then full...

John, I just used PowerPoint - kinda made a rectangle and inserted little hexagons and changed their color etc. I've really got myself in a corner by messing up my 4th string tuning - to me that Blue Hex nut does nothing since it's connected to the frame? Argghh - I'm stuck Good luck with the PowerP...

I've messed myself up on the 4th string tuning - it has 3 raised and 1 lower (split) All the raises are tuned but now the LKR E to D# is sharp and I can't crank in the hex nut any further to flatten it into D# (Strobo Flip on Newman E9) - plus there feels like it should split also. It was working fi...

I did homework to understand the raises and lowers.

Thought I'd log in before church and see whats up, and became intrigued about the referenced Fruit of the Loom commercial. Saw the silly song and then found the steel guitar reference. I never saw it back in 2005-6 http://adland.tv/commercials/fruit-loom-you-cant-over-love-your-underwear-short-2005-...
