Gentlemen- Do you know of any teachers in the Stuart/West Palm Beach area? I live in Jupiter and would like to get some one-on -one. I play guitar and bass in my church band and have been working on dobro and open G and E tunings. I can drive farther for longer sessions.-Jeff S

Oahu is gone. '39 Electar Century still available-(jsuhr48@aol.com) Thanks-Jeff

Any REASONABLE offer considered for a 1939 Electar Century (strong pickup,EC w/hsc) and a 36-38 Oahu in MUSEUM quality shape with original HSC. I'd rather sell them to a player than on ebay. Pics provided with email.
Thanks-Jeff

Thanks for all the emails. I'll have pics to you today if I am capable (my wife will assist).-Jeff

Thanks- My body's in pretty good shape so the rouge should work well and I've got some silicone from hurricane repairs so I'm all set. You guys are great, now if you can help me sell the Electar and Oahu in the For sale section, I'll be golden.-Jeff S

What's the best cleaner for bakelite? Any ideas for a substitute for the missing dots on my Rickenbacker fretboard. Thanks for the help.-JS

They're fixing my hurricane damage next week and something's got to go. The Electar Century is 1937, in great shape w/original case and one replaced pot. - $375 I bought the Oahu because of it's condition, there's no corrosion on any metal and the finish looks new other than slight weather checking....

Many of the instruments I see for sale have buttons that need replacing. Where do you get them and how do you replace them so they'll stand up to tuning pressure? Thanks-Jeff

PayPal sent for 2 sets Thanks for your help.
I'll use it as is for now. It CAN'T be an octave off.-Jeff

Sorry, just saw your gauge suggestion. I tuned it according to CEGACE. I'll just restring it. Thanks-Jeff

The strings came on the instrument. I thought the same thing but they fit the nut.
What should I restring it with? -Jeff

My 30's Oahu (Tonemaster) arrived today. I tuned it to C6 with my tuner and with George. The strings seem very slack, much loser than my E tuned Electar. Is this normal? The strings seem to fit the nut well. I know this is a stupid question but I don't want to hurt this instrument. This will not be ...

I bought a regal about 5 years ago and shipped it to Paul beard to finish. Total cost was around $600. I'd probably go for the Gold Tone also. I wanted to play a roundneck at the Titusville shop and called in advance to set up a demo but they didn't have one in stock!!?? I sprung for a bit more and ...

Mark- TOO COOL, I couldn't find an address on your website. Where are you located?-Jeff

Bobby Ingano's class sounds great but it's 1000mi. from South Fla. Anyone know of anything closer. You can only learn so much from DVD's, they don't point out your mistakes. Thanks-Jeff S

I'm thinking of going to Steve Kaufmann's dobro camp this spring for some intensive instruction/jamming. I'm an old fart and don't have time to slide with others since I play bass and guitar in my church band. Do you think that the dobro lessons will transfer to my lap steel playing? Anyone have exp...

I'm a beginner at C6 tuning. My Cashdollar video says it's CEGACE and chord finder says it's CGCGAE. What's up? Thanks-JeffS
