The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi, I bought a Rickenbacher B6 from Erv a few months ago and had him ship it to my brother in Pennsylvania. It has a soft case and was packed well. My brother took a peek inside and then closed up the box and shipped it to me to Sweden. No damage, no problem. I have had about 30 guitars of various t...

great!

Hi Erv, PM sent. Would like to buy the B6. Cheers, Bert

Hi folks, I have seen that a few 6 string Bronson Melody Kings have been sold here and wonder if anybody has one they would like to sell. I was thinking around the 800 dollar range. It should be in good shape with no issues. I have previously bought from several forum members over the years with gre...

Sad news about Franta. He was very supportive to many resonator players and always had a smile!

thanks Brad, yeah I saw that one. Will be posting on the mando cafe too soon. I have such good experiences by buying from folks on this forum I thought I would give it a shot!

cheers

I an American and live in Sweden and find myself in the same position as Rubens many times. I always talk to the seller of a guitar and say that payment can clear before they ship, and because of that there is usually no question after that. As far as I know, Western Union and checks are NOT good wa...

absolutely brilliant BUT the stuff is probably banned in Sweden and they would grab it at customs! Is there a significant difference using a small paintbrush or cloth to apply instead of spraying?

cheers

Bob I noticed that a number of these had Koa laminate bodies. Is this one or some other wood?

thanks

I have a Republic Resolian parlor with a Continental cone and it does NOT sound good. A friend replaced his with an NRP hot rod and said there was an incredible difference. I hae one laying around but because a Schatten pickup was installed by Republic I am a bit worried about changing it... is this...

Since I am buying from Europe I normally tell the seller to assure them I am legit, that he should let the money CLEAR to his bank account first, and then he can send it! This would have saved you sending out the things sold and then PayPal telling you the money was from a hacked account. Sorry abou...

Previously it seemed that only PREMIERE sellers got hit, but now it seems all do... I have been paying 3% on PayPal payments now when asked by people. Only fair. A bank transfer can be cheaper from Europe though if it involves thousands and not hundreds of dollars!

cheers

thanks for the Lindley tips. I have been listening to his playing since the early 70's... what a guy!
BERT

I am really impressed what you can do with those benders! I want one for one of my lap steels!

Cheers

Hi Brian, I sent you an email about this. Would like to purchase it.

thanks

For my money (excuse the pun) Pay Pal or bank transfers are the way to go. I always pay these ways and no hassle. Since I live in Sweden it is virtually impossible to send or cash a money order to the US! I had a very nice transaction with a forum member recently buying his Regal Dobro and it went w...
