The Steel Guitar Forum

Derek Bell playing a metal strung harp could not have done a more beautiful rendition.

Based on the Harmony-Central reviews, Eric Brown is probably too busy repairing the shoddy workmanship and cheap hardware of his other customer's guitars to finish Steinar's. Can you spell ADD. Or maybe bi-polar?

Mr. Lawson, I'm going to miss your playing on Saturday evenings on WDVR. My wife, my son, and I went to the show at the Stockton NJ Firehouse on the 10th and heard Ted and the gang. We loved it.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by...

Or is brass better? Or synthetic? I get the feeling that the bridge is probably the biggest offender in tone hamperin...

I work for the USPS. Italy has possibly the longest list of prohibited items. Canada is probably the most persickety as far as having the proper forms etc. PS: I just received my Artisan and Dunlop 919 two days ago. It's going to have a crackly-tone-control-ectomy next week after the clearance sale ...
