The Steel Guitar Forum

Giani, take your pull rod off, then you have the ball exposed, back the ball out and in the hole you'll see an allen set screw in there . Back it out a ways and your pin on the peddle will push to the left or right.
Richard MSA's are easy to work on and a good guitar.

I think the Reno and the Nashville are the same except for the horns. Just disconect the horns for steel. Sound good.

I use one for steel, have the horns disconected, have had complements one the sound I get. Mel Tillis fiddle players use them. And I had a guy on guitar that used one.

I've seen flags on some steel, so I tried one. have added two more. what a diffrence. I'll have to try some padding. Thanks for the Idea Bill.
The flags made it so much easyer, pads should inprove it more.

my msa has 1/8th rod

I'm not to good at this computer. So if you would send me your snail mail. saul@partnercom.net

I just completly took mine apart, changer and all, was it durty, SN.1C6573, some one at sometime had used the wrong size screw drivers on it. Will replace the screws some day. Reese you told me a few years ago when it was born, but cannot find the paper. Would you look it up again. MSA's are sure ea...

bob you can't be the seventh best I am, you must be the sixth.

Very nice Roger, If anyone has not tried flags they should, I just installed some on my steel, really makes a diffrence. I wonder if Santa's Elf's make Rit's I'll put one on my list. Enjoy it Roger.

Don't now the name or who has them. Small box, you can practice without bothering others. By pluging head phones in.

Al, sending you a copy snail mail. I,m not to good at this computer stuff. Richard

Sorry I forgot my manners the steel player were Bob Harris, Chad Burgess, Lowell Davis, Roger Miller, Lefty Schrage, Dean Thompson, Dan Hedlund, Vic Switzer and Kirk Dighton.

I think most young people are on penicilin today. Couldn't resist that one. Hear in Iowa they clap, was just at a steel guitar show in Marshalltown Iowa yesterday and they applauded. Some good steel playing too.

Went to see Curly in Minn. one time don't remember the year or the name of the song. A steel player told Curly , "I'm working on a song you have recorded, and I can't get that run you have in it,it's fast" Curly looked at him and smiled, stating "That run, I over dubbed it". And ...

Thanks Jack. I had a time keeping my feet on the peddle, once in a while I'll get off know. But it's better. I set back and keep looking down. Thanks again I'll give a 500 a try.

I have diabetes lost the feeling in my feet and is going to my ankles, I don't have the control I onces had and get a volume serge now and then. I've got a Ernie Ball vol. pedal. and I'm thinking of trying a pot with less taper to it. Not nowing much about pots is there one that would not be as sens...

Cleaning the strings, would that remove the mistakes too?

Sure you get a great sound, Tom Brumly used one to, had fender put a reverb in it for him.

Andy, years ago food coloring was used, thats why they fade with time and the sun light. I've seen alot of Sho Buds fade uneven. Nice sounding guitar. Enjoy it.

Liked his sound. But never heard of him after leaving Buck. Buy the sway it sounded it was not a good parting.

I have arthritis, rub some rosin on your thumb and side of your finger, also this works with your picks. That holds them. I've used rosin for years, a fiddle player got me to using it.

Don, I am sending you a tab of Faded Love E9th, snail mail.
I got it back when I lived in Poway, Calif. 30 years ago or more. Don't know who it was by. But it's a good arangment.

Did Tom every Tab it out?

Jeff Newman and Don Sulesky

If possible I run them under worm water. And I carry two bars one in my pocket, so as I can change once in a while. Carry some violin rosin, rub your thub and fingers with it, will give some grip.
