The Steel Guitar Forum

I wanted to thank all of you that have offered your opinions and suggestions as far as a Sacred Steel set-up for my first PSG. David took them and distilled them into this Chuck Cambell set up: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix/7084_E7_SS_1.jpg Since I'm a beginner on this instrument, it all is...

Hey, did anybody attend? Any Pics? Anybody see the Jackson booth? Would like any details..
Thanks

Hey Bill,
I hope it didn't take 18 months to get the Jackson!! How long did it take? I'm getting antsy waiting for my XTreme to get here...
Ronnie, Mine is the birds eye maple. I think it's the one they have a pic up on the Xtreme page on their site.

Hey Ronnie, I've ordered an Xtreme, and am now anxiously waiting for it to get here. It's supposed to be done soon. I'll let you know what I think about it then. Meanwhile I'm also very interested in what anybody else who has played, or owns one, thinks about them. So far I'm very impressed with the...

Hey Chris, Thanks for the input on the tunings. Any and all suggestions are much appreciated by me. Any other copedants you want to post? I'm also looking to hear anybody that has got a Jackson. I'm supposed to be getting mine in a few weeks.I'll let you know what I think. As far as the florida sacr...

Just heard from Dawn at Jackson Steel guitar. My XTreme PSG cabinet is done and ready to begin putting it together! I'm having it set up with some variant of a E7 SS tuning. She says she'll be in Florida for a Sacred steel convention in April and will be looking for input for suggested SS setups fro...

Hey, does anybody know Ted Beards SS copedant? Jackson Guitars has said they could set my guitar up based on his sacred steel tuning. I'm curious how it compares to the set ups that where suggested to me by Dan Tyrack and b0b, amongst others.
Doug

Thanks Scott.... Does anyone know Ted Beards copedant? The good folks at Jackson guitar have told me they would consult him for his SS tuning on my guitar. I will show them the suggestions I've got from the members here to compare notes, but I think I will give the advice of David and Dawn a little ...

Hey Scott,Dan, b0b, David, et all.... Thanks, I'm not losing my mind after all. I checked out your site for The Linemen, nice......are you using a standard E9th? You guys are really helpful. I hope I don't wear out my welcome before I even have my guitar!!! I'm sure I'll be referring here a lot when...

Hey b0b, I'm sure I need to get me a book or something to start studying, but, I'm missing something here. If you hit pedals three and four on Dans tuning, I'm not seeing how that makes a G major...I'm seeing a C# and a F#, how does that fit into a G major? Being something below a beginner (I haven'...

Dan, I just checked out your website. Damn nice music!! That's the sound I would like to be able to approach....
Doug

What a great forum.... Thanks for the suggestions, it's given me some food for thought...Doug

Blues, rock, southern rock, along those lines.......

I've recently ordered my first PSG ( Jackson Steel "Xtreme", 3/5) and I'm wondering if I should have them set it up with a sacred steel E7th type copedant, as opposed to the more standard E9th. Since I'm a beginner and either tuning will be new to me, I'm wondering if I'm making it harder ...

Hi Chris, I had posted a topic containing an e-mail I had received from a gentleman that preferred to remain anonymous, so I deleted the post and Bob took the topic down. My point was'nt to cause him any grief, it's just that I had just ordered the "Xtreme" from Jackson when I got it from ...

I just ordered the Jackson "Xtreme" as my first PSG. I really like hearing stories like yours. Can't wait to get mine and see for myself.

Thanks for the kind welcome and comments. I've ordered the Jackon" Xtreme".
I'll give you all a novice review of it when I get it in some 12 weeks.....
Thanks....

Hi All, I'm a new member, and soon to be owner of my first PSG. I'm pretty much settled on the Jackson Steel Psg's. I've narrowed it down between the "Blackjack Custom" and the "Xtreme". I'm wondering if any of you who have bought or played either would have any comments or sugge...
