The Steel Guitar Forum

Will do thanks, after I posted the question I started searching the forum and found that Jerry sells them. I've haven't seen or talked to Jerry in years but will call him...

I need a good replacement pot for my two Goodrich 120 volume pedals, what and where do I need to go to get a couple?

I had the honor of sharing the stage with Percy back in the early '90's. He came through Branson and came out to the club I was playing and got up to sit in with our band, He did a 20 min version of When A Man Loves A Woman. What a night that was! He said he really liked the steel guitar, And yes he...

Thanks Lane

Can someone tell me if a clarostat 500K volume pot is lenier or logrythmic? I need to replace a couple of them

You are right Paul, they do have great tone, here is my old guitar you can see the condition in the pictures. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/405_DSC02018_2.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/405_DSC02021_3.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/405_DSC02022_2.jpg http...

I sure hated to hear this, especially since I hadn't seen Mack in 10 years. We played a lot of gigs together in the '90's. Sometimes I would get a call for a weekend job, get to the gig and see Mack setting up, that always made my day, or he would call and say lets pick with so and so I always enjoy...

Thanks Lee, I haven't plugged it in for awhile now but last time I did everything worked just fine. They are pretty cool old amps.

Thanks Brad, I was thinking about selling it, I never get it out and it would be better if someone had it that would use it.

Here is my Custom 280 Magnatone Amp

Anyone know who I can check with on value of my Gibson Concert Grande?

I really hate to hear this, Jack and I sent emails back and forth all the time. I got the last one I sent to him returned May 31st, address unknown. I just assumed he was getting a new email address had no idea he had passed away. RIP Jack you will be missed....

Thanks Ronald, I know the George Brothers appreciate the plug for the show. And thanks for the nice comments. It was nice to see you again. I feel lucky to to get to play with all these guys every night, they are all great players and great guys to work with. When Randle gets the material together i...

Boo, sorry to say I can't make the service, We have a show tonight and I have to be at the theater in Eureka Springs at 6:00. I would really like to take part in remembering our good friend Phil but there is no way I can make it back to work in time. Phil knows I would be there if I could. I will al...

Phil's son Chad just emailed me and ask if I would post on the forum about Phil's memorial. This is what he sent: Sunday May 16th, at God and Country Theater, Branson Mo 5-7pm. Condolences and contributions will be accepted by the family. Wade Landry and co. will perform. I hear from Mike Arlidge th...

More sad news. Nick and his wife have been coming to see the show I'm at for the last few years and he sent me an email last Jan. This is it : (I haven't emailed in a while because I found out after getting back to Memphis after seeing you in September that I have Stage 4 colon cancer. I had surgery...

I too was very shocked when John Harper called and told me the sad news last night. Phil and I have been great friends since '92. He was not only a great musicain/singer but you couldn't ask for a better more loyal friend than Phil. He was always the first one I called when I needed a sub. My son ev...

Dino, Big John Harper called me tonight and told me the bad news. What a sad day. Phil was one of the best friends I made during the time I was in Branson.
He will be missed by many. ESnow

This May will make 30 yrs for us. Married at 25 and I've always said till death do us part. I to am very lucky to have a wife that stayed with me through all the road days. Wouldn't trade her for anything, ESnow

Hey Mark, thanks for the nice comments you made. It was really nice to meet you. I got that Emmons from my good friend Mike (Cookie) Jones back around '93 when he was still with Barbara Mandrell, he really made it sound good!I enjoyed our visit even if it was short. Come back and see us when you can...

Thanks Jack, it was really good to see you and your wife again, wish I'd had more time to vist. I know all the gang at the Ozark Mt. Hoedown appreciate you posting on here about the show. Hello Charley, thanks for your post also. We have a great crew at the show and all work good together. We have h...

I saw the post about maganatone lap steel, I have a 6 string that seems to be all metal body, it is keyless. It is in an old brown tweed case. I also have a Magnatone Custom 280 High Fidelity amp. It has 2 channels and a foot switch for stero vibrato. It has a cloth cover. They were not a set, I got...

Thanks Nickey, All of us at the Hoedown appreciate you giving us a plug. Even doing the show 6 nights a week we all still have fun everynight. I enjoy playing with this group. It was real nice to meet you, if you and your wife ever take off on your bikes again and come up this way be sure to stop by...

Bryan worked over my '68 rosewood Emmons p/p back around '93 and it still plays as good as the day I got it back from him. He added 2 or 3 knee levers for me when he had it. He sure does good work. So good it hasn't had any problems at all. When it comes to P/P's he's the man! Eddie Snow
