I gotta have one

TB, I have a double neck mci and the pull rods are 3/32. I believe they all are.

Franklin double on ebay went for $5,800.00. Are they that good, or are they a collectors item? Just wondering.

Eric, when you raise the price up to around $950.00 plus shipping, please give me a call.

Damn, I wish I had some money. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Donny, The steel is a single neck, 3pedals,4 knee. I always used 3/8 aluminum in the past, but I was told that the sound would not be as good. That is what I was wondering if that was true? I really dont know why it would make any difference in the sound but mayby it does. I reciently rebuilt a shob...

Im rebuilding and old steel and Im wondering if I should use aluminum or steel for the cross bars? Any advice from builders?

Thanks everyone for your input. I think Ill go with my gut feeling and keep the mci. I know gfi makes a good guitar but I dont think it will keep its value as well as my mci. The lighter weight of the gfi really does not appeal to me. I like my guitar kinda like I like my women. A little on the heav...

I have a double neck Mci range expander. My friend wants to trade me a 2007 GFI ultra on a double frame with pad. It has 3 pedals and 5 knees. Do you think this would be an even swap? I know what my MCI is, but dont know much about GFI. Any help

My lower B string on my bud proffesional has a buz (rattle) that I caint seem to cure. It is the only string thats giving me problems. Im wondering if a heaver gage string would help? Any suggestions?

Thanks a million Martin

Does anyone know where I can purchase 3/16 nylon tuner stock?

Does anyone know where I can order 3/16 nylon tuner stock? I need to make some for my project.

Dan, you have email

I can make mine sound like a flute

Im sold

Anyone play a Desert Rose? Im thinking of buying one and would like some opinions on the guitar.

I will give Don Blood two thumbs up on his pad. I bought one for my sho-bud professional about a year ago, and I love it. It is well made and worth the money.

Keith, If your trying to upgrade, If it were me, Id save a few more bucks and buy something a little better. I would think another few hunderd bucks could buy you a very playable steel you would be happy with. Just my opinion.

What did the knee lever do Bobbie?

Ive tried several different effects on steel, but none seem to improve the sound. Just the guitar and the amp(with reverb) is the best sound Ive found. Any thoughts?

BUT, what makes the demand so high? Is it the mechanicks? The tone? The sho-bud name? The rariety? The rest pad? Please tell me what.

Thanks Dennis, It does have the nylon tuners and the narrow pedals. Any idea of its worth?

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the the square and round front Loyde Green model? What do you look for to tell the difference? The round front seems to be more valuable. Are the mechanics different or what. Ive found one for sale and really dont know how to value it. I have a sho-b...
