Hi Paul-

I've got a D10 Sho~Bud with Emmons setup. Shoot me a message.

That is so awesome that Mick Mars owned this guitar! I remember seeing a video of Motley Crue and showing Mick playing this guitar. I can't remember the song, but it was probably on the Dr. Feelgood album.

I play guitar in my church band, and in the past 3 years have now introduced Pedal Steel to the congregation. They have REALLY loved having it mixed in with our contemporary service. I've also reworked a lot of hymns into a more "contemporary" style with Pedal Steel and they have also enjo...

I am a worship leader at my church and I bring out the pedal steel approximately once a month. We mainly play contemporary praise songs, but I'll work up some hymns and give them a modern feel and add pedal steel. This goes over VERY well. Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing is a congregation favorite...

What Paul said...there are about a dozen of us around in Chicago. The club gigs are not good pay. My band does 3 or 4 hour shows of Honky Tonk/Rockabilly and we get between $300 - $400 for the entire night. Split that 4 ways in the band and all of a sudden it's not that great. Also...there aren't a ...

Ken has the books. Video is still left.

Hi Keith! Thanks so much for answering my post! I checked the pedal out last night when I got home from work and it is still cutting out when pressed all the way down. I have tried it in a different amp, changed 1/4" cables, plugged it into different AC outlets, etc. I will send it back to you....

Hey Guys, Last night at my gig, I had something go wrong with my Hilton volume pedal. It was working for the first set and then I went on stage for the second set and the volume pedal turns off when I open it all the way up (Read as full volume). Any suggestions on trying to trouble shoot this? It w...

I have a Fender Twin 2x12 that I converted to a 1x15. I put in a Weber California 15". Awesome speaker.

Anyone have any Christmas tabs for Dobro that they would care to share? Broke out the Dobro out of retirement the other week and would like to mess around with some Christmas Carols.

I tune straight up GBDGBD

The GC by my house is flooded with kids playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" through Marshall or Mesa Boogie half stacks. When you walk in you better be prepared for some loud and awful guitar playing. I go there for basic needs (strings, picks, pedals, etc).

We are really fortunate to have Dave Peterson in the Chicago area.

Cheers!

Yeah, that's a great guitar for a starter. The A and B pedals with the D lever (E's lowered) will keep you busy for a LONG time.

Cheers!

That's a Pro 1. It looks like the person put on a new fret board, but everything else looks original from those photo's. Would be nice to see a picture of the underside and the changer.

A single neck Pro 1 is approx $1k.

Cheers!

Check out Skunks playing on "Pearl of the Quarter" on the Countdown To Ecstasy album by Steely Dan....AWESOME stuff!

Howdy all, I'm selling my 1995 American Fender Strat Plus Deluxe. I'm the original owner and this guitar is in great shape. The neck on this guitar is a standout! The guitar is a "blue burst" finish from Fender's custom shop and is truly amazing to look at! Being a Strat Plus Deluxe it has...

OK, I have accepted an offer....waiting on payment.

I'm selling my Pro1 3 x 4 guitar. This guitar was my first pedal steel, but I no longer play it since I got my D-10 two years ago. This guitar originally had only 2 knee levers, but I sent it to Bobbe Seymour at Steel Guitar Nashville in 2001 and he put on 2 more knee levers on it for me and put in ...

It's not for sale, but here's my Sunburst Pro II Sho~Bud.

Enjoy!

I'm a Senior Business Process Analyst at a extremely large health insurance company in Chicago.

Hey....it helps me with my pedal steel addiction!

Thanks for the compliment! It was a refinish that Duane Marrs and Jeff Surratt did for me about 3 years ago. It's got the Marrs changer on it also.

Cheers!

Wow....Never noticed this thread until now. OK, here is my Pro II sunburst Sho~Bud.

One of my first gigs ever on pedal steel. The band thought it would be funny to mess around with me, seeing as I was a nervous wreck as it was one of my first gigs ever on steel. We finished sound check and then left the stage to go grab drinks and etc. The band leader took my picks and bar and hid ...

I've stripped a lot of pieces of furniture that were Polyurethane. There was nothing hard about the poly finish and removing it. I'm curious, what did you use?

Cheers!
