I agree! I've sold and purchased a few expensive items and never even considered something might go wrong, and nothing ever did! Before I retired I was an automotive service tech and most of the feedback I received was negative, nothing about the good job I did. I think this forum is the greatest to...

Deluxe 8

I can't believe this hasn't been snapped up yet. To my recollection Fender used the blond finish on ash bodies, better sounding than alder. I have one of these, and it's a great all purpose guitar. Legs are solid, tone is outstanding. The blend wheel is amazing. Price is right on. There are lots of ...

This is an excellent video! It's perfect for beginners to actually hear them compared. I thought the Epi had the best tone, but I believe you're correct about the SX. I enjoyed it very much, and I think it's unique in lap steel videos! Keep up the good work, and thanks!

Emmons U-12

Just an interesting note, the Emmons U-12 that sold was my guitar, I bought it in 2005. There's a pic with the date on the underside in my handwriting. It was a great guitar, but I bought my original D-10 back and never played the U-12, so I sold it on the forum in 2009 to Mike. I paid $2500 for it ...

Arthritic hands

This is a video I posted in 2015 to help the sale of my Harmony Roy Smeck lap steel. I recorded it on my lunch break of my job as a Mercedes-Benz technician. I think it helped sell the steel, which I was not fond of. I think it's entertaining. You can see my big hands. Still have 'em, working ok. ht...

I have a D10 P/P Emmons with an Emmons volume pedal pinned to the pedal bar. That's the placement for me. The volume of the amp is critical, also. I think you need just a little more volume if you really need it, so I set playing volume just past the mid point. I agree with learning without the peda...
