The Steel Guitar Forum

Has anyone converted their D10 so that one E9 neck is standard and another is a "custom" E9 configuration?

Hello All,
Looking for a cover to protect the guitar when not in use. Want to keep it setup and protect it from dust, dirt and scratches.

Not sure if a cover exists to protect legs and pedals too ??


Thanks,
Jeff

How can you identify which keyhead you have ?
I just acquired a Emmon Lashley Legrande II. Is there a way to measure the length, confirm and/or identify the standard to confirm ?

Hello All, I was looking at some of the achieves about Ralph Mooney on this forum. I also went back and listened to many youtube recordings back in the day. I really loved his style of playing and his sound configuration he used. I read on this forum that some or all of his Sho-Buds he used and reco...

Hasn't anyone developed a Pedal Steel Guitar App for E9 and C6 to include a option to program your own copedant ? Im looking for one for my smartphone which is with me at all times and very handy and also one for the music laptop computer. I think this would be much handier than buying a portable ha...

Thanks to all who responded.

I guess I should have updated this thread a week ago but I am buying a beautiful black in color Emmons D10 Legrande II from Johnny Howington. I am looking forward to playing it. I noticed that once these guitars show up for sale on the forum, they get snatched up quick.

Hello All, I am in the middle of trying to get approval on a loan to purchase my 33 year old dream that hasnt been fulfilled yet, a Emmons D10. I decided on a Emmons Lashley D10 and looking for the best deal I can find ( maybe find another one of those "deal of the year " type I occasional...

Hello All, I just found and purchased a Peavey Nashville 400 on e-bay because it was recommended as one of the best steel amps if you can find one.

After listening to this tribute to John Hughey here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnVnHqHucRA I was also impressed with the sound of the newer Emmons model Lashley Legrande III but I am absolutely sure I want to purchase a emmons. I also got to thinking that because it is a newer design, it woul...

Hello all, I was doing research on this forum and found that the newer Legrande model was introduced to improve on the design of the guitar and reduce cost. I was wondering due to the changes in the guitar if that changed the tonal quality of the instrument? ? I am strongly considering a original Em...

Hello All,
As stated earlier, I am new to this forum and starting to ask alot of questions. This one is simple. Is there any difference in the sound of the guitar between a all wooden neck versus a all metal neck ..... or is just for cosmetics ?

I see someone is selling a Fender 1000 right now on the forum.

Jeff

Hello Bobbe and others,
Thanks for the reply. Its sure a nice sounding guitar.

It seems that some Sho-Buds have more sustain and slightly different tone than others. How does the Super Pro compare in sound to older versions of Sho-Buds ??

Jeff

Hello All, I am new to this forum. . I will be asking alot of questions regarding alot of "who played what" since i can only identify what steel guitar sound I am trying to identify and may eventually be looking to find ( many of these guitars may no longer be available )on this forum so w...
