I use an MXR carbon copy delay that I like better than the DD3 never tried the 7 but the MXR is an analog delay which I find a lot warmer sound than the DD3 which is digital,just a thought...

I've used national picks for over 30 years,these are quite thick,about 25 thousandths I believe and I do not have a problem with loose picks.
Jeff Newman always said if your finger picks hurt then they are on just right,works for me.

If you hear and feel a bit of a click or snap,you might have a "dog bone"that's wore out or even broke.
Check the puller rod at the curled end that's what hooks on to the brass dog bone to create a pull for your string

Richard if you don't have worn out dog bones make sure that your changer has lots of lubrication.
I had that problem on mine and it turned out to be both
Pullers and lack of enough lube on the changer

Albert check with Pete at Long and Mcquade music in Saskatoon they rent steels at the store

Hi I think Pete has the thumb picks at Long and Mcquade saskatoon....

I'm from Kindersley,sask,canada.
Not very many steel players in Sask,but we're workin on it

Just to add my two cents Al is a great guy always willing to help out and easy to talk to,I've bought most of my steel gear from him over the years,I got to know him back when Wayne Link was still putting on his steel shows in Winnipeg(Linkon).Those were great times for me and everyone who attended,...

Tuck it under one cheek while you tune up,works for me!!!

Hi,if you can get a serial no.from the owner,I'm sure Scot Buffington of Evans amps can tell you what year and model it is,the no. should be visible on the back of the chassis.

Hi George
I'm assuming you mean those little brass "dog bones",I have an 04 S10 that I've had to replace some on,they do wear out,especially if they aren't oiled once in a while.
Al has them at Steel Guitars of Canada,he's the only Carter dealer in north america.
Merry Christmas

Ralph

Sounds like your changer is sticking ,try oiling it ...Ralph

congratulations on your award Jeff....Ralph

I am very sorry to hear about John and condolances to Ann and the rest of the family.........

Hi Bill,check out the tascam guitar trainer cg2,it plays c.d's and will change keys 6 up or down and can slow down c.d.s without changing pitch,it will loop any part of the song,does everything but the dishes I think....Ralph

I had the pleasure of meeting this fine gentleman and playing with him a few years ago at Wayne and Joan Links Mid-Canada Steel Guitar Convention in Winnipeg.
He's gone long before his time and will be missed greatly...

when Daves wife Pauline passed away about 4 years ago he was determined to try and learn to play the instrument that he loved.he bought a carter starter and I spent some time with him and got him going,he was coming along,we would spend quite a bit of time on the phone and the computer talking about...

Hi Don
I play a single 10 carter and I have the franklin pedal on 0,also I lower the 6th string 2 frets and raise 1-2frets and raise 2-1 fret all on the right knee left,I like this setup and it works good for me

Hi,Eddie I did the same thing a short while ago,welcome aboard,its going to be a great trip..R.D.

Hi Everyone,I've been on the outside looking in for a few years and decided it's time to join.
