The Steel Guitar Forum

Any one in Oslo or Halden Norway have a 500k volume pot that they could sell me? I brought 2 pedals with me and one is dead and the second one is developing problems. Really? How much stuff are we expected to carry with us?!? I’ll be in Halden tonight and Oslo tomorrow. Any help would be greatly a...

Sold or still available? Thanks!

Steve, is this guitar still available? Email me at jongraboff@me.com if you be so kind. Thanks, Jon

Lee, I sent you an email last week. did you get it? thx

exclusively? wow.

I never did anything particularly complicated on that stuff so if you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to advise. JG

Geez… I'd call it country music. Am I off track on that? (no pun intended!)

Well… maybe not "amazing" but seemingly somewhat unusual these days. A song and video on CMT which features the pedal steel guitar in the INTRO! Not to mention the turnaround and the rest of the tune. http://www.cmt.com/videos/shooter-jennings/728905/the-deed-and-the-dollar.jhtml Ok… so I'...

Barry, Thanks for posting a link to Tommy's song. This is a very cool song and I wonder why other steelers haven't picked up on it. It's a very worthy substitute for "Sleep Walk" and though I love that song dearly, I think we've heard it enough! Just kidding of course, but it does have a s...

Howard, the Beach Boys song I performed at the Norwalk steel show was "Surfer Moon". I also played a great tune called "Girl All Alone" by Tommy Hannum which I copped from his record "Not Rocket Science". That show was quite a while ago and your memory is pretty impress...

I'm looking for original, narrow mount (for Sho-Bud / Show Pro) Lawrence 705 pickups. I'll take one but would love to find 2.

So if you're looking to clean house and have any of these, please get in touch at jongraboff@me.com

Thanks! Jon

The pleasure was all mine Michael! It was so nice to finally meet someone who's name I'd been reading here on the forum for so long. AND to I got to hear you play too! A double bonus! Be well my friend. JG

I'm one lucky son of a gun. Not only do I own that beautiful JCH, but I also have this killer Show-Pro! They both sound as good as they look.

… and Roger… no, you can't have my JCH!

Keith, the JCH ain't going anywhere! That's a keeper fro sure… an incredible instrument. I had the Show Pro built so I could retire the JCH from the road… I consider it irreplaceable, particularly after Jimmie passed away. And I'll have the second one handy when the first one is on a truck going som...

I love mine so much that I'm having a second, exact duplicate made. It sounds great, plays great, looks great and stays in tune. Jeff and the whole gang at Show Pro are fantastic to work with and they're genuinely interested in making an instrument to meet their customer's needs and specifications. ...

I don't spend a lot of time listening to this kind of music, but someone sent me a link to this youtube page and I have to say that this guy is blowing my mind. He really starts to shred about half way through! At the very least… keep an open mind and simply enjoy the mind boggling technique involve...

jsaine, the leslie sound I'd dial up while I was touring with Ryan Adams was with a Line 6 Modulation box. I also have a Voce Spin ll but even after having it modded, it just doesn't sound voiced right for the pedal steel (a problem I've experienced with a lot to stomp boxes), so I tend to not use i...

Oops! yes I do have and use a RKR. It raises the 1st string a half step and lowers the 6th string a half step. thanks for bring the omission to my attention! JG

hmmm… I've never been asked for my copedant before. well… it's not particularly interesting but here it is: First of all, it's The usual 10 string E9 tuning and I use Jagwire strings which I like a lot. The Lloyd Green set with the wound 6th string. I don't like to "boing" of a plain 6th a...

Here's my testimonial: I sent Coop's the tailpiece from my 80's Pro l and he installed his changer and… MAN! What a difference! So smooth and reliable. The way, way, way to go!

I believe that starts on fret 21, A & B pedals down, up to the 23rd fret and then down you go.

This question has come up before and I think Tony is right. Both Buddy and Red but I'm not sure who where and when. I haven't heard it in a long time!

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or if it's appeared here before, but here's a link to some amazing film footage of a Grand Ole Opry gathering at Roy Acuff;s house in 1959. Jerry Byrd is seen as well as many, many other Opry greats in a purely social situation. Roy is even wandering ...
