Excel Jerry Byrd model D8 non-pedal console. About 7 yrs. old. Guitar, case in very good condition. Rarely played outside my home. $1400 plus shipping http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1029/47_Excel_Steel_Guitar0001_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1029/47_Excel_Steel_Guitar0008_1.jpg

Thanks for all your responses. I have listened to every recording Roy did with Eddy Arnold. He gets pretty swingy with "There's Been A Change In Me","The Love Bug Itch" and "That's how much I love You" I have tried to duplicate some of the licks in E13 tuning. However C...

It's been awhile since I posted on the forum. Roy Wiggins is one of my idols. I know he played a Gibson Console Grande. He used the E13 tuning a lot. What did he tune the other neck to?

Late 50's or early 60's blonde. Has dings, original case but case not in good condition. Plays good. I have digital photos which can be e-mailed. $1100 includes shipping.

Thanks to all of you for responding to my request. Mr Jones I'm sorry you couldn't access my e-mail-other forum members did.

Does anyone have any of his cassettes? Scotty quit selling them. I would like to purchase them (or copies). I think he made one cd.

I have seen a lot of comments about the Frypans but not much about the old consoles (d8,t8). Does anyone own one and what comments do you have about them?

Has anyone ever heard of or played the String Tone model. It has some kind of changer mechanism. There is one for sale at Andy's guitar in Fla. Sure a beauty. Thanks for your input.

I have been listening to a box cd set titled Eddy Arnold The Tennessee Plowboy. Roy Just plays the melody, simply, but in a word, heavenly. He tastefully backs up Eddy without being overriding. I know I'm showing my age but I do not enjoy the music where everyone tries to drown out the others. This ...

Mark, Paul, Carl, Ray, you got me started down memory lane. I was stationed at Schofield barracks in Hawaii in 1954-55. I was trying to learn to play on an old National lap steel. I was using a Jerry Byrd instruction course, and if my memory is right the tuning was c7th. Anyhow, Jerry called out for...

I see a lot of mention of effects units on the forum, such as Profex. I assume these units provide reverb,sustain or whatever. Is anyone using the Modeling effects units such as the Digitech RP2000. According to the literature these units will give you the warm tube amp sounds or any combination ima...

I play a JB Excel double 8. I am not a pro and have only been playing about a year. I am very pleased with the tone and construction of the guitar. It also stays in tune well. I play through an Ampeg vh-140 solid state amp. Mr Johnson, What type of equipment do you use?. Will you attend the St Louis...

Thanks to all the forumites that responded. I am waiting delivery from Scottys of the Excel. A very special thanks to Bob Lee for providing this forum. It saved me money, time and frustration. I will donate to the cost of the web site. Check will be in the mail.

Are there some owners of this steel out there?
I am considering buying one of them. Would like input from owners- tone, quality of construction and materials, likes, dislikes. I live in So. California. Phone (619)748-2296 or answer on forum. Thanks
