Renting equipment in Austin

Does anyone know about a place to rent a steel and possibly an amp in Austin? I'm flying down for sxsw this year and don't want to lug my 70s msa on an airplane if there's another way around it. Amp too, you never know what you are going to get with a backline.

Steel tune up in Atlanta

Does anyone know of someone who can do a quick tune up of an msa in Atlanta? I'm down here recording and having a hell of a time keeping it running smoothly. It just needs some minor adjustments I'm sure.
Any help would be appreciated.

Fender 400

I am offering up for sale my Fender 400. I hate to do it, but so it goes. Its an early 60's model as far as i know. Long-scale, chrome pedals, Blond finish. It does have the newer roller nut installed, which I assume was an after market add-on. This guitar is probably one of the nicer ones you will ...

This is probably an easy fix, but it is frustrating the hell outta me. I'm having a problem tuning the C pedal on my 4th string. If I tune the string correctly, the pedal is off. If i then tune the pedal up, the string will have dropped. What am i doing wrong? Also, I purchased some of the George L ...

if anyone has tab for any of those three songs though, let me know.

the 4th is coming up quick

The other day I had a volume pedal crap out on me. While I wait for the new one to arrive, I've been practicing with my band without one. I gotta say, I'm not sure if i'm going to go back...

If anyone has a free minute and feels like tabbing out the steel solo on this song, it would be much appreciated.
