Any idea how to find another deal like this one? It doesn't appear the seller has any more - at least not on eBay.

I emailed the seller and ask if they had any more. Got a reply that they had a few, and would be relisting them after the holidays....

Yes its great information for sure, and this is a great forum where people are willing to share......Hopefully after the holidays, I can dive in even deeper and explore....Thanks alot

Hello from GeorgeBoards Whar Area of Oklahoma are you ?? We are Located off Route 66 East of Edmond, Denny is a great friend -- GeorgeBoards Teaches his methods and our DVDs are a Feature on the SGForums sale of Lap Instructions. Click Instructions at the top of the page and go to the Lap Steel Ins...

Thanks alot Denny, I'll try to understand it. Your stretching this "banjer hillbilly's" bald headed brain you know? but that's what I ask for, wasn't it? !!

WOW!!!, thanks for the help, mighty nice of you, but unfortunately I'm not smart enough to absorb that at all. My theory knolwedge is just enough to be dangerous, but that is way over my head. Maybe there will be a day I will understand. So, is the tuning I mentioned, a usefull tuning, or is it not?...

Thanks to both of you....fantastic! Thats good usefull info. I've started off with low to high Bb-C#-A-C-E-G-B-D....kind of a C6/G dobro cross. You can get your 1,4,5 chords all within two frets. Then with the dim (C#) and 7th (Bb) on the bottom....Then the minor EGB is there as well. I really like ...

Is there a thread, or link, where one can visualy see scales and/or chords on various eight string tunings? Just purchased a new 8 string lap, and I need to visualy see these scales first, verses tuning to million different tunings and spinning my head. Im looking for a tuning that I can play triads...

I come to the group with this question....I am considering the purchase of a top notch round neck, with solid woods, USA made, round neck spider type reso. I have owned 2 OMI Dobro round necks in the past and enjoyed them very much. But now that I have experienced the sounds of a solid maple guitar ...

Just a thought, you might consider a stop tailpiece and Epiphone's "EZ bender". I have seen them used before on lap steel's. I have looked them up in the past, and they are available through musicyo.com , but they are not always in stock. MusicYo.com is Gibson's foreign wholesale website :...

My friend said the new Dobro, did NOT have a pickup, or a jack. And yes, its sounds like, Music 123 got confused with Gibson's changes as well...Personaly I think Gibson should have been a little clearer about the origin of this guitar and any other changes to the past advertised "Hound Dog&quo...

Yes !! it DOES have the Dobro emblem, not the burned in Hound Dog.....I was suprised...this is a total new designed guitar, they went back to the round sound well, not open. The maple was nice looking, same stain color,and matte finish, but not flamed or figured on the one I saw. No serial number on...

My friend recieved one also....YEP made in China..fit and finish actually better than my USA made houndog made in Nashville, sound was ok, but needed thicker strings to compare...nice guitar for the money..My only complaint is Gibson could have reserved the "Dobro" name for a USA made inst...

Terry, The one I owned was a round neck, I got great comments every where I went on the volume and tone alike. The pickup, was typical and passive, very thin sounding and weak, but if you roll back the treble use a preamp,and also use a mic you can tear um up. Using a volume pedal on a good instrume...

Hey Alan....Ha !!....a steel picker, electrical person.., I picked up on the High voltage electrical equipment statement...I have been an industrial electrician for 30 plus years. So its a small world !! Robert, youve hit it right on the head...The American public is so much in debt. Most companies ...

Your probably correct about it being asian built, especially for the price, and its probably a better instrument from the change????..I bought one of the hound dogs for $800 three years ago and I was let down when I received it for the lack of fit and finsih...sigh..But just another American product...

There is also a discussion over on ResoNation and they said music123 told them it was NOT US made....??? I have a friend who ordered one and I'll be able to tell when it comes in.

Here's Music123' reply about the orgin of the $350 Hound Dog........... Subject --------------------------------------------------------------- Gibson Hound Dog $350 Discussion Thread --------------------------------------------------------------- Response (Cameron) - 08/28/2007 02:53 PM Dear Musici...

I have emailed Music123 and requested clarification on this matter. I'll post the answer as soon as I find out the truth.

I had emailed a friend as well and they purchased one thinking it was USA made....SIGH...

You might be right..... I did a search for "Hound Dog" on Music 123's site and came up with both high and low priced guitars. And the lower priced guitars are tagged as a "NEW" item. So I would assume that they are NOT discontinued retired models...but rather a new version with a...

Ian, thanks and a good thought....yes I have tried it some.....but two reasons why I would like the seven string....first I also play five string banjo and alot of the bluegrass style stuff I play on the dobro(open G ) tuning really utilizes that needed D string.....second I also really love swing a...

Ok, That all sounds ok.....BUT, did you look at the link I posted and see the FENDER steel guitars? There is a S6 model that is sold out, then a S8, then a Fender Buckie model. I blew up the pictures and looked real close and it says Fender ??????? There is even a Fender steel guitar link on the web...

Ok I'm confused....This site shows both Canupus AND Fender steel guitars.....So what's the deal, does Fender still make steels and sell them in the Japan market? Here's the link.....

Just curious, what did the shipping cost?

Just some additional info....I ordered a Hound Dog round neck a couple of three ago from Musiciansfriend. I recieved it and was so upset at the lack of workmanship. I got in touch with the shop manager in Nashville and he traded mine out with a replacement which was a big inprovement.....but still l...

I ran across this site sometime back which includes all the Canopus and Japan Fender??? lap and console steels....
