The Steel Guitar Forum

Thank you Tom, I appreciate that info.

Thanks Wayne!

Great suggestions. Thanks Bob.

I'm wondering how hard these are to come by since psgparts.com is gone. I know they made a lot of guitars, so I would guess there are a lot of parts floating around. I'm considering jumping into a older Universal that I'm sure I'd need bell cranks for and possibly a vertical lever. Is there a resour...

Herb, I'm pretty sure that's John Carroll on lead guitar. Mighty fine lip syncing gentlemen!

Hey Cody, I'll try to make that happen.

I have 1053 D; I believe it to be made in 1967. I bought it from the second owner who said he had it for 40 years. I'm quite sure the brown flocking is original, because believe me when I say it had never been rebuilt! :lol: It came from the factory a nine pedal guitar, and I believe it had either t...

Shaun: wow man, thank you SO much. I sent you a PM.

Thanks again Ted for all that you do!

Very cool. Thanks Ted!

Hi Tommy, I'll take two of these. I'll send a message.

Baxter, I wouldn't want to steer you wrong so I'll let someone more knowledgable than me chime in.

Mark, that's interesting...I think I'll try it that way and see if one feels better than the other.

You're welcome Mr Thomas!

Dave H I'm no expert but I'm sure that's possible. It would involve some under carriage work probably. Your knee lever throw would be shorter lowering string 2 just a half step which might be nice.

I tune the second and ninth string on my LeGrande 3 this way: Second string open to D# at keyhead, second string lowered all the way to C# with nylon tuner, then ninth string open to D at keyhead. Here it gets interesting; I tune the second string half stop to D with the nylon tuner for the NINTH st...

I have one I'd let go of. I don't suppose you've found a treasure trove of original baskets, have you? I'll message you.

I bought magnets for my Supro from Lollar, and by adjusting the pole pieces was able to find a nice balance in sound.

Thanks for the update Rick. I ended up going with a pair of Focal Alpha 65's; but the VSX system is on my want list. Glad they are working so well for you.

Hi Neal, I believe I owned this steel at one time. I can tell by the keyhead; for whatever reason it didn't have the same one as other Blantons I've seen. It was a double neck when I had it, so maybe it found it's way back to Jerry and he converted it? I sold it to Ward Orsinger in 2007. I remember ...

Thank you b0b. You’ve created a resource that is invaluable to so many of us. All the best in your retirement.

Super cool, Whit. Best of luck.

I’ll take the bar; I’ll send a pm. Thanks

RIP Neil.

Hey Andrew, I'll take it. I'l PM you my number.

Thats right Peter, thanks for the photo. I don't need the whole pedal bar assembly, just the volume pedal bracket. If I have to make one this photo will help a lot.

May be a long shot, but I figured I'd see if there was one out there before I tried to fabricate something.
