The Steel Guitar Forum

I customized a Melobar lapsteel recently for this purpose. It is a 6 string E-tuned guitar. I added a palmleversystem from Certano. But, I felt it interfered to much with my picking hand. So, I had a machinist friend of mine make a couple of extra parts to make one of the levers a Knee-lever. Ill po...

This is my 1977 Zum S10. Great guitar. I have played Gfi(student and pro) , Shobud and dekley before, and this Zum is by far the best I've played

Hi, could you ship it to Norway if I buy it?

Thanx everyone
I sent Karen Sarkesian a message on facebook. And I will try to get in contact with doug beaumier too

Hi 🙂
If travelling is more normal next year, I will be making a trip to Boston in may.

Do anyone know any good pedalsteelplayers in that area? I would love to take a "masterclass" or something to get some new input on my playing 😉

Any tips from forum members?

I installed a hipshot on my Melobar, and it works really good for both E B E G# B E, and G B D G B D
I know I added a sligthly heavier lowest string, but cant remember gauge right now. Ill measure gauges later

Just bought this stand from deluxe34. Very good quality, and perfect for my three melobars

Recently buyed my 3rd Melobar 😎

I recently bought a zumsteel s10. 1977 model. I have been playing a gfi expo until now, and i must say that the zum is way better.
Before the gfi i had a shobud proffessional. The zum is better than the shobud to.

That blue zum in sweden is purdy

Ive tried that setting on a boss eqpedal. But i was actually refeering to the boss ac3, that ive started using now

I at work now, and cant remember my exact settings, but I want to add that it sound good in a band setting. If I did studio work or a bluegras gig I most likely wouldnt use it...

Nothing beats a real dobro

Hi, I have been looking for a dobro sim to use on my lapsteel. I play it in a dobro tuning, so the licks are the same as on a dobro. I have tried the Boss Eq trick, faders up-down-etc..., but did not like it so much. I tried the Resonator pedal from Tom Bradshaw and really liked the sound of it. It ...

Cool

Hi again, , thanks for the reply. I have been playing it a bit now. And the size and weight thing is gteat , ,but i was not happy with the sound.....
Too dark and sterile.

Hi, have anyone tried the zt club amp with pedalsteel?
I have a chance to swap my Recording king lapsteel with this amp.
Sounds like a good deal?

Maybe i misunderstood....?
What do you mean by; synthzised Steel and banjo..?
Played on Steel and banjo, then made to sound more like a synth.
Or played on synth to imitate Steel and banjo...?

If that is the case. It Extreme well done! !
