The Steel Guitar Forum

Frank's full name is actually Franklin Carter. What did anyone think he'd do when he grew up?
Sorry about the Farter name suggestion. Couldn't help myself. . . .

Sold pending receipt of payment.

Frank,
It appears as if my suggestion to combine your first and last names as a name for your new guitar was also rejected. FARTER GUITARS

With all due respect, nothing I have ever heard sounds as good to me as my old red EMCI. I bought it from Bruce Bouton ten years ago, after Bobbe Seymour played his own EMCI for me in his shop. I have never regretted buying this guitar and all who have heard it will agree with its tonal attributes(a...

Just a quick note to let Forum members know that Mike Brown and Peavey came through for me on a particularly touchy repair on my old Tubefex. It took three tries to get it right, but Peavey kept at it until it was finally repaired. They even picked up the shipping to Mississippi.
Thanks again,
John

To those who asked-
Those marks on the inside of the lid are remnants of tape marks. I found it very handy to post diagrams of my pedal setup, tunings and string gauges right there where I could see them at all times.

Custom made black rack case for steel guitar. Four rack spaces. Heavy duty hardware, 17" depth, hinged top lid. Bottom opens to allow for cables, cords and air circulation. Hardly used, kept at home. Nice professional equipment. Price is $150 and I will pay FedEx shipping to anywhere in the low...

Bump for a great sounding welded frame!

I think Brick has it right. . . .and Steve did get one heck of a deal on his EMCI. I heard it last week and it holds promise to be a great guitar when the right pickup match is found. That seems to be the big trick with the welded frame guitars. All sound good, but great is a matter of pickup and so...

Andrew, You don't know how lucky you are! Great guitars. I would suggest that you consider changing that Barcus Berry pickup out with a George L E-66 or 10-1. Easy to find a used one here on the SGF. Don't let me find your posting a decade from now about how you got rid of your EMCI and should have ...

Bill, That's a winner(incontinent rodent not withstanding)! Use some heat(hair dryer or Tucson in summer) to remove the fretboards and reapply with contact cement. Take out the Barcus Berry pickups(they make nifty refrigerator magnets) and replace them with other, better options. I'd suggest George ...

Bill,
Please post those photos!

Sold. Close it up. Donation forthcoming. Thanks!

Please, someone find that single neck welded frame for Steve!

It's sold pending payment!

Thanks, Cliff. I've been asked about the setup. The pedals are straight Emmons. Levers are as follows: E9th LKL Raise both E to E# LKR Lower both E to Eb Outside LKL Raise two top strings F# to G# and Eb to E LKV Lower both B to Bb RKL Tunable lower split Eb to D/C# and D to C# RKR Raise both F# to ...

Bump for a good guy!

MCI D-10 with 8 pedals and 7 knees(3 added), Emmons setup. It is the sought after aluminum welded frame RangeXpander model made in Arlington, Texas just like the EMCI. Dark Burgundy mica, triple raise/lower, upgraded with a matched-to-guitar pair of George L E-66 pickups. Very good condition overall...

That's a tone machine! Great guitars.

I'm not surprised. Steel guitar world's hidden secret.
Welded frames are tone monsters.
