The Steel Guitar Forum

I find that I can use my Korg DT-1tuner & get decent tone & no parts to buy . Just plug the steel into the input on the tuner & use the headphone jack . you can put effects in line if necessary . Bill

Mark , the last reply you sent had a list of sites , the last one listed has the diagram that I have worked from . if you look close it looks as though the 82K resistor is going through the upper & lower pots , I have wired the guitar in question according to that diagram & had OK :| results...

Please TTT still looking !

I'm a nerd , who has an old Belt buckle from an Auburn or Cord , I can send a picture or 2 , I have an Excellent T-shirt The Band 'Life is a Carnival" it may have been worn once ,Tie Dye Nice art both sides ,Also , Nancy Griffith Blue Roses From The Moon , nice formal wear .

Michael , Beautiful ! so what is next , keep me in mind for Parts or beasts that just won't play . I had a 57 GSetsch come in for set up work , he left with a Stromberg ! Will drive for new projects , Bill

Is there a battery involved ? Very Nice , Bill

I'm glad to provide some humour to your days , I am less interested in F----- products , I prefer hollow bodies , or solid oddities . Here are a couple . The J bass is Maple Walnut , like the Ice cream ,cold http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/6255_72_harmony_H74_002_1.jpg http://bb.steelguit...

Thanks for the kind replies , Mr. Duckworth , I found the diagram that S Duncan has a few weeks ago , & wired it up after using my scanner to enlarge it the problem I am having is that the one resistor appears to go through the upper & lower tabs on the upper & lower pots , I was able to...

I am looking for Warmoth bodies ,necks & unfinished projects , also old bodies to re-purpose , turn clutter to cash , I like to work with old wood , Thanks

I seem to have more luck with electrical diagrams here than ANY other place . Jerry Jones was very helpful in the past , there do not seem to be many clear diagrams available , I have the parts but there are a couple of spots that I may have assumed to have jumpers that are wrong , I am working on a...

Just thought I would pass along the sad news , Forum member Buck Dilly Has gone to Steel Guitar Heaven . I had dealings with Buck on the Forum , and somewhere along the line found that we had friends in common & that he played with the Womblers a local band from this area , 30 years ago ,he he w...

I don't want to side track your thread , mine was made by Kay prior to becoming Kay , I believe the name was Stromberg-Voisenet , does the binding look familiar ?

I thought you guys deserve a look at what I do with old Nationals , Supro's or Kay's that have been stripped , beyond being restorable , from a financial standpoint , it plays great , has Very low action , & a very rare Schaller/Gibson Tremolo , it now sounds Great! , I hate to waste parts , the...

Thanks to all who helped me get this switching problem solved . Jerry you are a genius I wired it according to your diagram & it works perfectly . Sounds good too! Bill

Jerry , that what I was looking for! Once more with feeling!

I went ahead & put 3 separate switches in , I was under the impression that you have to feed the output from the pickups to the center lug to avoid having problems with having each pot affecting the others .I have three jazz bass style volume/tone concentric pots I've wired a lot of guitars , I ...

I am trying to get position 1 bridge p/up position 2 middle p/up , position 3 neck p/up , position 4 Bridge & neck , position 5 Bridge & middle , position 6 neck & middle , Thanks

I am building one of my hybrid guitars , it has 3 humbuckers , each running through a dual concentric pot so I have Volume & tone for each p/up , I am then running the output from the center terminal to positions 1,2,&3 of my6 position 4 pole switch . :\ My problem is how to combine {for ins...

I have a 400 limited , which I love & recently added a 500 having heard that despite the weight it is the best sounding steel amp made . I wasn't able to get a sound that I liked for my 73 Sho-Bud Pro II , until some kind soul sent me the settings that were being used at one of the big Steel con...

I have an early Gibson L6-S , plays incredibly , however , the wiring is tampered with , & the p/ups seem wrong , it is considered the most underrated solid body Gibson , despite the endorsee's . I need a wiring diagram , Thanks , Bill

Still no takers , Lily gets a cut , Before my Ill ness my daughter sang in my band , they would always mention her by name , we were just the band , Lily has amazing vocal ability too , and adds to the beauty of any guitar .

Brian , thanks for the interest , the guitar is a re-issue , M.I.J approx. 2005 , it has had very little use , & plays nicely & sounds very good ,Bill
