Still in the market if anyone has one they are looking to part with. Thanks, Dennis

That's some wonderful playing!

WTB Sarno Earth Drive pedal.

I'm in Wisconsin.

Thanks, Dennis

This thread is very pertinent to me right now as I have G6 as above on one neck of my Stringmaster D8 and open D strung to six strings on the other neck. Open D is kind of a one trick pony for me as I mainly play Steel Guitar Rag on it with alternating bass on the 6th and 4th strings. I just bought ...

Hi, I bought the subject steel yesterday and initially the far PU didn’t produce sound when the switch was in that position. I found the yellow lead from the far PU disconnected from the switch and resoldered it. It’s the far right lug on the first photo. Still no sound although the PU works if jump...

I also have a Studio 15 that has a noisy first channel, non-working reverb and tremolo. My tech thought it needed a few modules but he is too busy to get to it. I'd like to find a method to determine good/bad modules and to find replacements as needed. Thanks, Dennis

I highly recommend
Nick Fryer with excellent work and great customer service.

I have Junior and I'm looking to purchase a belly bar for it. Asher is out of stock on the item.

I first heard about Nick Fryer pickups through some video endorsements from Chris Scruggs and Lee Jeffries. My 1956 D8 Fender Stringmaster had some imbalance issues between the two necks. Nick guided me as I performed some troubleshooting which revealed a bad winding on one of the original pickups. ...

Works fine, came with an Alkire steel I also have listed. $125 plus shipping.

Nearly perfect Alkire 10 string steel guitar for sale in Wisconsin. I believe it’s from 1958. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/8493_5728900F5C41484383CD89BA8B68FF65_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/8493_F9A4F06E8B234B12A48FB7E6DE86282A_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.co...

Ok finally got back to checking my newly acquired Stringmaster. The volume imbalance was there before I cleaned pots and knife switch. The blend controls both work and here are my resistance readings: 15K ohms near neck with blend full on (CW) 7.5K near neck w/blend off 14K ohm far neck with blend f...

I just bought the subject D8 guitar and after stringing it up and cleaning pots, knife switch contact etc the neck closest to me is quieter than the far neck. The near neck also lacks the low end warmth of the far next. I’ve adjusted PU height the same for both necks. Any ideas how to troubleshoot t...

I’m in Wisconsin’s and have some trade options. Might even consider a neck from a long scale Stringmaster that has been turned into a single 8 orphan.
Thanks, Dennis

I have a 35 Style O square neck with a Beard cone it it that barks and is a joy to play.

Ryan, A few years back I bought a 1937 Style 1.5 German silver square neck tricone and I also owned a new National Tricone square neck as well. The new one was steel body construction and hollow neck. I felt that the materials (German silver vs steel) gad a larger impact than the hollow neck differe...

Erv, thanks for the Stewmac link, I’m already a frequent flyer there. From all the photos I could find on the web, they look like standard white Kluson style buttons. Jack, thanks for the DOB response. Bill, There’s high likelihood that I’ll sell it as I had different one for many years and di...

I just picked up this 10 string EHarp and old volume pedal from the nephew of the original owner who thought they were from the early 1950s.. I need to find some tuner buttons but everything works so far. I have not tried the pedal and will carefully lubricate it before swinging it through it’s tr...

Yes, my middle initial is K. The emblem fits snugly into a mount I built in the tuner cavity and snaps out to place in the case pocket for road trips.

I customized my Clinesmith steel guitar last night with a front fender badge from a vintage DKW motorcycle. DKW was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer from Germany until WW2. Harley-Davidson Hummer motorcycles were based off DKW designs and were used as part of war reparations. This steel...
