I’ve been using an HD 500x with my Stringmaster Dual 6 in a Yes Tribute Band I play in. You won’t find any presets they have designed that are usable, they are mostly over distorted Exagerated effect presets for beginners. You will have to build your own sound. I tend to just use my 500x as an e...

Convinced me.

I'm guessing 1960, 6 strings, whatever this Roy Rogers guitar was tuned too. I was into lap stuff from the very start.

OK, you'll need a 1/4" drill bit, a drill some rusty, dull tin snips. . . sorry I couldn't resist. I've got a 1930 Style 3 squareneck and I'm afraid to get my finger picks near it. I'm in the same position you are, how to amplify it. One thing I've tried without much success is "The Grip&q...

I recently got a 1930 Squareneck Tricone with the name Ellen Goodart engraved on the neck. Does that name ring a bell with anyone?

It arrived and what a guitar. Thanks Glen at Gruhns.

I was about 10 years old when my Mom took me to my first auction. This was in Virginia near D.C. around 1964 or so. There were tables and wagons all around the house stacked with stuff. I saw a table with a guitar and it was like a magnet. My Mom said she literally had to drag me away from there sev...

A very crude attempt at Mercury Blues, David Lindley version. Very inspiring piece.

With, looks more vintage like.

I do the steel parts, and extra guitar stuff in a Yes Tribute band. My Dual 6 Stringmaster is the ultimate tool for that job.

Found a beat to death and in pieces BR9 at a music store in Decatur IL. Paid very little and started the steep learning curve both in how to put it back together and how to learn to play it. I miss that steel; my Dual 6 Stringmaster is my favorite, but the BR9 was FUN!

I would love to see a variation of Gibson's Advanced Jumbo pattern

She's more concerned with her reverse slant technique, than the ironing.

His is a Gracie stand. Much stouter and getting very hard to find.

You have to be GENTLE with the way you play it, or it can become a GIANT tuning problem.

Nice deal, wish I could find a nice one like that for a good price. Mine's a little "worn"

Anyone here?

Soon, we are right at the promotional period to start booking gigs.

I do all the guitar work in a Yes Tribute band in St. Louis and there is nothing I enjoy more than playing Steve's steel parts on my Dual 6. LOVE IT!

Ha!

That is so cool to have a pic of your old steel, wish I would have saved more of mine.

1963 Fender Champ in a flawless brown case. Too cool, it's the perfect backup for my Dual 6 Stringmaster.

If this was a mistake they did it two years in a row. Here's one from the 1961 full line catalog.

If it looks like, plays like, sounds like and has all the features like a Stringmaster; but you can't call it a Stringmaster, it must be a D 6
