The Steel Guitar Forum

Lane, you made a video? Is it on-line yet? DK

Just booked a room, King bed with sofa bed... so, can split with someone if desired... otherwise, it's mine, all mine... bwahhaha...

Can you list the weights of the various bars? Thanks! DK

Looking to split a room with someone in Ft. Collins... Don't have one yet... I'm arriving Wed, 22 Oct, leaving Sun the 26th... don't smoke, drink, or chew, but I'm told I snore. Not sure I believe that, however. Lemme know! Thanks DK

NICE looking guitar!! Can't wait to hear the PU....

I logged on to look for something else, and for some reason went to the "Gone Home" page... I had not heard that Steinar had died... we never met, but corresponded for the past 8 years or so... sad to hear... I'll miss his soul in my life...

Wow... so sad to hear... I had not been on the forum for a bit... loved his singing in Dallas (missed him in St. Louis this year)... he'll be missed. Condolences to his family...

Don... I think that he uses the kingpin from a Mack truck for the bar... a really, really solid sound.

Looking forward to this year's event... will be great to have Cindy there! And looks like some great vendors upstairs as well... cool... Excellent job, Jeff and all of those who helped... I'll bring you some $$ to 'hep out' when I see you, Jeff. Kristy R. told me where to find the schedule... guess ...

Here's a few more pics from Winchester... Working on more videos now, but have to find a different ISP for storage... mine takes Sooooo long to up- and down-load... Here's a couple of wise guys, trouble waitin' to happen: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/4535_Ron__Bobby_1_1.jpg Dick Martin...

You're welcome! Glad you found a fit!! Tell Mark to keep smilin'!!

@Mike - that's great... there was a pic with the auction, but it was not very good. @Al -- I'm in C13, L--> H = Bb E G A C E G -- that's the tuning that I got from Bobby Ingano. Sometimes I put 7 to C, as I need that note on certain songs... Looking forward to seeing you at Winchester... and everyon...

@Garry -- I have no problems with the shorter scale, but I play 2-3 different scale instruments already... I found it very easy to adapt to the shorter scale, plus, the harmonics are easier to get!

Simply take a leg into the hardware store, go to the section with nuts, and find one that fits the threads. If none fit (highly unlikely), they should have gauges for size & TPI. Then let Mark know... he should be able to drill and tap to the appropriate size. dk

Well, this guitar is mine, all mine (bwah ha ha)... Yep, it's an oddball, for sure. I changed strings on it last week, pulled all the electronics to check for dates and solid solder joints. It's a wonder that it worked at all! The wires were soldered together nicely, but had a blob of solder on the ...

Oh, yeah, they are really stiff... It would take a while to get them bent to fit the fingers comfortably, and I use that word loosely!!

I'm using plastic now... gee, that's what I started with back in the 60's... How'd I end up back there?

Hey, Mike -- These are some picks that came in the case of a steel I got... They are labelled "FITRITE Pat. Pend." They are NOT comfortable (to me)!! :D But, someone in the 30's or 40's had the same idea! http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/4535_Pick_2_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarfor...

Hey, John... just logged on 2nite for the first time in a long time, following another link... Great site! And you're a Linux user? Cool... me 2... See ya at Winchester!! dk

VERY nice... Thanks for sharing!!

Hey, get that warm weather while you can! Great to see the videos! Thank you!

The Dustpan is sold... thanks to all who inquired! dk

Must sell :( Rick Aiello "Dustpan", #009. 8-string, 22 3/4" scale. I'm in DeKalb, IL, and will ship worldwide... Will be at the HSGA Convention in Joliet next week with the guitar for sale there as well... asking $1600. I have more pics if anyone is interested! You can contact me via ...

Thanks, Andy, but those don't really help much... The schematics don't show which terminals to connect wires to (at least not that I can see), and I think that's part of the problem... something is on the wrong connector on a pot... The 3-way switch works fine, so I'm not going to mess with that!! -...

Have a Gibson Consolette double-8 that needs some help... when I got it, the upper neck was all bass, and the lower neck was mostly treble... Plus, the upper neck (only) had a low 60 cycle hum. I asked on here and several people had ideas, including replacing the pots... So, I got new pots, but befo...

Greetings -- just picked up a Gibson Consolette (D8) in primo condition... but, I'm not an "electric" player and have no clue about electronics... I find that the back neck is all bass, and the front neck is all treble... It has P-90 pickups on it, only one volume and tone control... Is th...
