Jon Light wrote... Were there tuners on older guitars that were made from some sort of plastic that changed, hardened, stiffened, lost some sort of physical properties after a lot of years? Jon Light, I've been wondering the same thing lately, as just the other day I had a very stiff nylon tuner tha...

Here's the bar for it....

Looking for LKL2 staggered assy for a SKH Legrande. Photo shows LKL2 installed on a LeGrande lll, and my SKH looks to have the same amount of room... https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/4309_parts_1c_LeGrande_LKL2_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/4309_parts_1_1.jpg htt...

Under the "STEEL" category--Buzz Summers. There was a Buzz Summers that approached me on a gig I was playing steel on when I lived in Houston between 1977 to 1987. We got together at his house--he played some good steel, said he was active in a band, but I never got to hear him on a gig. A...

Cartwright, thanks for the very valuable information!

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/4309_Peterson_Strobostomp_HD_on_sale_1.jpg I just spotted this out on the internet. Never heard of this--Ludcot.com--they say they are an international fashion company servicing over 40 countries--looks like a lot of lady fashions, which makes this dea...

Here's the tab....

Make sure you look for the audio file there of Buddy playing it live--the tab was made from it.

I had a sudden urge today to try and correct the available Magnatone poster/ad from Magnatone.com. I was able to extract the right side of the distorted Magnatone photo given here, and combine it to the Magnatone.com photo. Had to resize, color balance, use bits and peices, cut and splice, etc.--I e...

That Magnatone poster/ad--if someone could lay it perfectly flat, align it correctly, and scan it for us fans, we could make a copy and frame it. I copied the one that's on Magnatone.com--but, it's slightly cropped on the right side--not perfectly intact like this one.

Wow, TOTALLY UNREAL!!!!! SPECTACULAR news!!!!!

John, I'm wondering when you are in PETERSON CONNECT, and creating a CUSTOM PRESET--and wanting to create different F# values--do you assign some sort of code to identify each different F# value? For example, I'd think an easy one would be, say-- P3 or PC --standing for pedal 3, the E to F#?--and so...

Just for informational purposes, I reduced the picture to 750 X 928, and it uploaded. But, I've always uploaded pictures much larger, but below the max accepted size, and never had a problem. I guess when you see that error--Debug Mode--window, just keep reducing until it takes.

I learned a long time ago to reduce the size of pictures to upload on the forum. The picture I'm trying to upload had been reduced down to 801 X 991. I can reduce way smaller than that, if necessary. I've tried several times to upload the picture. It's way smaller than the max size that's accepted.

I've never had trouble uploading pictures, till now. When I try to upload a picture, it says:

General Error
Image could not be uploaded

I don't know if this is related to all the Virus Alerts I've getting lately, or not.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've been getting various virus alerts, mostly from Google Chrome and McAfee. I have Google Chrome, but I don't have McAfee. How does McAfee know the state of my computer, when I don't even subscribe to it? Anyway, I've been checking my Windows Defender, and it says everything is fine. I went out on...

Wonderful! Just wonderful! Every steel player, no matter what degree of talent should listen to this. I remember very well the Ranch Party and Town Party shows when I was a kid, and most of all, I remember Marian Hall. I thought it was so neat and cool that a woman was playing steel! Marian sounds l...

Well, then, which wires do you connect and solder?

Do you connect and solder the GREEN and RED?

or

Do you connect and solder the GREEN and WHITE?

Or, is it one of those things where it doesn't matter?

I need to know, as I'd like to get some Bill Lawrence pickups.

If the steel you're talking about was red--go to "Steel Guitar East" web site. They're showing a good picture of Mike Johnson with his restored LeGrande II.

My HP9015 printer's ink cartridges are starting to run out of ink--bought the printer new last January. Just wondering if anyone has experience with the remanufactured ink cartridges. On my old printer, I did try LD remanufactured ink cartridges and had some trouble with the printer not "readin...

For my non pedal 24.5" scale steels.....

top 16 18 22 24 30 36 42 (68 or 70).

Yes, Jon, I remember a while back someone posted the problem with extended poles with a picture--I saved that for my pickup file. So, whether I get comments from Derby owners who may have installed the LXR-16, or not, I'm still going to contact the Bill Lawrence people and get the exact dimensions o...

Still looking for more Derby owner comments.

Gene--Thanks for the picture, looks like different sizes there. I'd better call or email and get the exact dimensions of the LXR-16 to be sure. Thanks.

Guys, thanks for posting. Whether it's good or bad, I found that the recessed pickup routing in my aluminum necks were cut-out to exactly fit George L's. I changed the original E-66 pickups to the SS-10 and 10-1, and found that they were the same size as the E-66 pickups. So, all 3 models were the s...
