Ron, that’s a sacred steel lever to lower my F# to E. Gives me big fat chords when I double the E’s.

Hi Mike,
Yes, he kept the original changer and pickup. I have another double neck ZB and this student model sounds better and is easier to play. Maybe the aluminum cast body contributes to the livelier sound!

Eddie Lange has been the steel player on the latest tour and doing a great job. Great band also, with brother and sister on harmonies. Well worth trying to see them. I saw them in Rockford over the summer and Mo was outstanding.

Greetings Ray!

You can't go wrong with RFD-TV. It's the only reason

Red Rhodes was involved with GT amplifiers which is documented in the excellent book by Aspen Pittman:
The Tube Amp Book. I don't know about any connection with Mesa Boogie, but they're wonderful amps, too.

I saw Duke Ching Friday at the Joliet convention.
He did a wonderful set with his triple neck Fender
which was tuned E13, C13 and B11. One song made use of all three necks.

All four CDs are great. The Cavalcade of Guitars is phenomenal. One of the best combinations of musicians to ever play together. Same with It's The First Time. I also really enjoy the Bryant/Emmons show. It's nice to hear how versatile Jimmy Bryant was on guitar when he gets a chance to stretch out ...

I own a ZB student model and love it. It sounds great and weighs less than my others. It was originally reworked by Tom Bradshaw and I've had some additional work done by Paul Redmond. The guitar is very stable, dependable and stays in tune.

George, Paul got the single neck Miller in pieces. The BMI single neck was built by Zane Beck in '79 and was changed to a keyless in a recent burst of creativity prior to finishing Winifred Hoffmann's CD. He also modified a ZB single neck for me to the universal 10 string tuning that he has used for...
