The Steel Guitar Forum

Roger, this seems to be what I am looking for but I have a couple of questions.

Is this a Beard Vintage R model? Also can you specify what Fishman pickup is installed? Does it need a preamp? Also can you supply a picture of the upgraded bridge?

Thanks,

Les

The Deluxe has been sold and a forum donation has been made. Thanks to all who replied.

Perhaps I was measuring incorrectly.

From top dead center of the nut to top dead center of the bridge, it is indeed 22.5 inches. from the end of the bridge to the end of the nut, it is just a hair over 22 inches.

Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

All inquiries have been responded to. The Fender is still for sale with a reduced price.

A couple of things I forgot to mention in my initial posting. The scale length is 22". Also I will accept Paypal.

Thanks,

Les

**Asking price reduced to $750** I selling my Fender Deluxe 8 due to lack of use. It plays and sounds great, but my focus has been on other musical pursuits and I just don't play it enough. It's a 1965 (verified by looking under the tuner pan) in walnut. It has some superficial damage where the prev...

That video helped me to finally get in the mind of a collector.

Now I know that a guitar is collectible when it has "sparkle and shine and all that".

Gerald - I would love to hear more about what the experience was like at Augusta, if you are interested in sending me a PM. lesdoerfler a t verizon d o t net. I am going to be there in two weeks to take a class with Mary Flower. It's my first guitar camp so I'm a bit nervous as well as excited. Any ...

Great idea, Jeff! I would rather see this take place without the BIAB element being required. The way I would envision it would be someone would post a link to the source song so everyone has the same starting point as a reference, and then just let everyone have at it in their own way. The results ...

Mike - from what I have seen and heard from your playing, you have two things working that will ensure success for you, regardless of the instrument and genre of song. You have a great sense of melody/harmony and rhythm/timing. I think that's why you were so good in the Moonlighters. You were playin...

Andy, I was checking out that Ricky when it was on ebay. Beautiful! I ended up buying an identical '37 Ricky, also from ebay. It looks like the twin of yours. It came from Hilo, HI. How cool is that? Mine had a major issue though. Someone had glued a felt backing to the guitar. Why would you do that...

Loni,

$9000 would take the whole lot and I would have to throw in some goodies as well, I think.

Cheers,

I have a number of guitars that I am selling in an effort to get them out my closet and into the hands of some players.

I have been lucky enough to have a lesson or two from Mike on both lap steel and pedal steel. Mike is an excellent teacher and a nice person to hang around with. As with all the best teachers, he will give much more info than you can process. He records each lesson directly to CD and pauses to make ...

I'm typing this one handed since my other hand is wrapped in ice after trying to pick up this CD after playing it. HOT! So many excellent moments on this CD. Mike, you sound like you are playing with a jazzman's mind and a rocker's heart. I'm fairly certain that you are going to be required to regis...

Here's just a couple of images from Rick's fantastic Summit. It really was a perfect mix of great food, wonderful hosts, the best music, and fantastic people. Steelers really are the coolest musicians I have had the privilege of hanging around with. I'll post more pictures when I finish editing them...

I would bid on it right now...if my name was Luke.

Rick - I've been bike riding out around Berryville. It's a really beautiful area. Wow - Moonlighters and possibly the Hula Monsters. Kind of like getting the Stones and Beatles together back in the day. Perfect! Any thoughts to an accompanying workshop? Maybe some intro to Hawaiian style for us Newb...
