Please Barry, share with us what a Swinette is.

Still in love with mine after all these years. Five I think, and the humbucker PUP is great as well as the Stage One volume control. Thanks Doug

Encore with NV112 with Fox chips. No effects. Get compliments on my sound . Doug's humbucking pickup,

Keith, Its on here some where Search for John Hugheys kick off for Look ar Us.

Has anyone ever tabbed Hal Ruggs kick off to above song? I heard John Hughey's kick it off on RFDTV the other night with Loretta. Can get the first part fairly close but the run down at the end baffles me I know part of it is lowering the second string. Thanks And by the way Bruce Zumsteg does a nic...

I agree with John. You can't go wrong with an Encore. Price, stay in tune, tone, and play-ability and last but not least, weight, about 43 pounds in the case.

Thanks Michael. Me thinks I paid too much. At the time I think I was making about $4 an hour at the phone company. Close to 3 months pay.

I paid $ 850 for my D10 8x2 in late 1969 That is about 4000 of todays dollars

2014 Zum Encore S10 stays in tune out of the case and rarely a broken string.

Roger, You are indeed correct in Randy playing an Encore. I talked to Gary Carter a couple of years ago and he had an Encore ordered with some modifications such as the pedal board attachment improvement. I have played my D10 Zum once in the 4 or so years since Ive had my Encore.

Enjoyed the music Tonu

Roger, Try watching RFD TV on Saturday nights starting at 8 eastern time. Starts out with Marty Stuart with the fantastic steeler Gary Carter. Then a couple of old Nashville on the road types with Buddy Emmons sometimes. Then Opry Backstage of about 20 years ago with the usual staff steelers of Weld...

Thanks Greg

I've had mine about four years and I am always amazed about how it stays in tune no matter the temp or humidity. I frequently get comments on the tone. Thanks Bruce and Doug.

New site easier to use. Do you still have decals? If you do send me one with my new order please.

Thanks.

Who is the steeler on Gaithers' with Bradley Walker?

I'll be watching for the June Jam

Bill It has been years since I have seen you.

I thought my NV 112 shot craps one time Borrowed an amp but no deal. Come to find out my Hilton Pedal power cord was broken at the edge of the case. As I am always early at a gig I repaired the cord and played the rest of the night.The moral of the story is always prove the trouble before you try to...

Enjoyed the Jam Steve. Let's do it again.

I am planning on being there.

Thanks Steve

Thanks all. Make it the 18th of March and I will go see Bobby Reed and Perlie Curtis at the Herrin Civic Center on the 17th then go to Swansee on Sunday.
