The Steel Guitar Forum

This is a portion of what Bob Carlucci had to say about a Washburn Telecaster: Posted 4 Dec 2017 9:05 am Why are you limiting your search to a "Fender USA only".. Some of them are garbage, plain and simple, while its MIJ MIM counterpart might be a superlative guitar.. they are all individu...

Craig, You wouldn't by any chance, be the Craig Bailey from NJ who had the Bar on Rt 40? And to get back to the Amp, try using it Without the surge surpressor and see if it still does it. Next (if the above didn't help) try turning each of the controls back and forth from 0 to wide open one at a tim...

Jeff, I have a Made in USA Washburn Telecaster, that has the most beautiful wood I've ever seen in all of my years of playing. Of interest, the neck is Amazing as well. I've had it laying here in the Washburn telecater hard shell case for quite a few years now and have never hooked it up to an amp, ...

Hi Tommy, I haven't talked to Mike, but I did contact Peavey to see if they still had the battery for them (which they do). I have no need for it, as I use a "Lexicon MPX1" I picked up on Ebay (as being brand new never used) around the same time. We're currently in the process of cleaning ...

New information Bump

Offering for sale, this Peavey Pro-Fex. I'm selling it "AS IS". The following is what I do know about it: I've never hooked it up. I've plugged it in and it powers up. The display lights up and you can see dashes scrolling across the screen. However, since I know nothing at all about a Pro...

Hey William,

Congrats on a might fine job. Great expression, and a great sounding steel.

Keep up the good work, and say a big howdy to Bill Sutton for me.

Email me when you get a chance to tell me about the project you two have going on.

Your old NJ friend,
Don

Stock tuning nuts on Carter D-10's are all (1 1/8") if they're more or less, someone has changed them. Even on the Quad Raise/dual Lower they're the same as they are on a Triple/Triple changer. So I'd pretty much guess they'd be the same on all their steels. Can't say for sure, because I've nev...

Hi Ronnie :D (Bishop P. Hall) Thanks for your kindness to an old man. The fact is, you made my wife tear up when she read what you'd written. You my friend, turn out tunes faster than a Rabbit has litters. "Now that's really quite fast" :lol: Fact is, if I were as good at my style of playi...

Hi Chris (I),

Sorry it took me so long to repond.

Thanks a whole lot for stopping by and for your kind remarks.

A while back, I finally got a chance to hear you play and I must say, it was indeed a pleasure.

Thanks again,

Your friend in NJ

Sorry for taking so long to reply back.

What's up with the site saying the account has been terminated for multiple copy right infringements?

Sorry I missed hearing these two..... Don

Hi Lynn,

Thanks a lot for the comment, and I'm really glad you liked it.

Don

Hi Charles,

Thanks a lot. As always, I really appreciate hearing from you. Keep up the good work you're doing.

Don

Hi Mike,

Thanks a whole lot. I'm using one of the old (open face) Ernie Ball (Pot) volume pedals, along with an old Session 500 amp, and a bit of reverb.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really do appreciated it. Glad you liked it.

More coming soon if my health holds out.

Don

Hi Matthew, Thanks a whole lot. My Emmons is a 1998 one owner (until I bought her from her original owner) Billy Dunn, who ordered her new from Emmons through Larry (Whimpy) Sasser, an Emmons dealer at the time. She had never been worked on since leaving the factory until after I bought her. I gave ...

Hi Bill,

Thanks, and keep up the great job you always do.

It's really appreciated.

Your (old) friend,
Don

Hi Carl,

Thanks a whole lot. Sorry I can't be of help in finding Dave Martin. Haven't heard anything in a long time.

Keep up the nice work.

Your friend
Don

Hey William, a real nice job!

Joe, My wife said to tell you she said the same thing you did about the steel guitars.... :)) Each one I bought with good intentions of selling one and they all (now) play so well I hate parting with them. Carters are one of the best playing steels I've owned. As is the Emmons now too. However, one ...

Hi Joseph, The D-10 that's covered to the right of me, is my Black 2005 Carter 8+5. My Red 2004 Carter D-10 8+5 is in the other room, and my old original 1968 G.E.S. D-10 8+4, is still stripped down for her cabinet repairs, that I never (yet) got around to doing. Hopefully one day, I'll get her back...

Don, is that tape on the Cross Shaft holding what appears to be the Braided Shield?
