I am posting for someone selling a steel in my area.

Black MSA D-12, in excellent condition with 10 pedals and 4 knees. $1850, no trades. Phone- 9796616520, scooter5811@hotmail.com

I just got back a mixdown of some stuff we recorded direct to protools and it sounds pretty bad tone-wise. We chose to record direct because it was late at night and we couldn't make alot of noise. The project is essentially done and cannot be changed at this point. Too bad, won't do that again! Jus...

The lap steel has been sold. Thanks for the interest!

Here you go for starters:

f/s: Fender Triple 8 in good condition with black tolex case. Best I can tell, it is from ~1967-1970: pickups on the front neck plate say 3/8/67 and the volume pot #'s are 70-2125-0034 and 70-2125-0375. Missing one of the bridge cover plates.The paint is original with a few minor dings. Has that goo...

Hi,
I'm looking for a Music Man 115-HD150, preferrably in working order.
Thanks,
Jon

I am interested. Was the pickup a Baggs? You'll know this beacuse a wire goes directly to the bridge where it attaches with a dab of epoxy. Also, what type of fiddle is it?
Thanks,
Jon

I am interested in buying a music man amplifier- preferably a RD112 or RD 110.
Thank you,
Jon Kemppainen

OK thanks. Did you play in Jennyanykind in NC?
Jon

Is the material still available?

Check your email
Thanks,
Jon

it went for ~$1001. Not bad!

I play E9 PSG and lap steel, love both, and need consolidate to one big heavy instrument instead of 2. I am looking for a Fessenden, Shobud, or D10 of decent quality and would like to trade my Fender T-8. I have owned the T8 for about 1 year, it plays well and is in good condition, 60's model I thin...

What is the history on this guitar?
Just curious.

Your steel sounded great in Georgetown! Sounded like the electronic manipulations you made did the trick. Drop me an email at jon_Kemppainen@yahoo.com sometime!

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks Ed. You've got mail.

Hi Ed,
Please call or email me with an update on my Dekley Knee lever parts order. It will be nice to know when to expect them since I sent the money in advance. I haven't gotten any responses to multiple calls or emails and am concerned....

I play it on A6 and it is just fine because the song is in D and the solo centers around the 4th fret. It is best to have an 8 string neck, then everything just falls right into place for you. Hope that helps

Jon

Lots of talk about practice and mind set in this thread and those will get you far but another recommendation to deal with stage freight is simply to play out more. Play in Bars where its not so quiet as in church. They rarely hear the mistakes with all the hubbub going on. (Usually in church you co...

Thanks alot Donny!

I am modifying my Dekley to fit an Emmons volume pedal. Can anyone let me know the distance from the right front leg that I need to drill the hole in the pedal bar. Also, what diameter does the hole need to be? I'll be fabricating the tabs, or if I get lucky, I'll find some of those too. Thanks, Jon

I am looking for a drop pin for an Emmons volume pedal. I'm retrofitting a Dekley S10. I think I can make the tabs, but I'd consider buying them as well.

Thanks,

Jon

Thinking about it, TV must be even worse for perpetuating the mindless fog....

Kudos to Neil! I just took my first lesson with him and enjoyed every minute of it. He is a very patient, generous and knowledgeable instructor. He is also a great resource of steel guitar history. If you've been wanting to take lessons here in Central Texas, go ahead and get lessons from Neil! Jon ...
