The Steel Guitar Forum

Just heard the sad news. He literally taught me everything I know about pedal steel, and was just a funny and interesting person besides. I've still got several hours of recorded lessons on my computer that I refer to when I'm struggling with a song or technique, and I think going back to those less...

Excellent-thanks for the tips! Thus far it's not unusable, I just cleaned and lubed and changed strings so I thought I'd ask the community.

Thanks, I may do that when I change strings the next time.

Hi all, First, my steel is working fine, it's just the standard "stiff Sperzel key syndrome"I've read about on the forum from time to time. I see that sometimes players will replace their Sperzels with Grovers, which sounds like a cool idea, as I've always liked their guitar tuning machine...

Thanks! I noticed when I hooked everything back up that there was a lot of travel on that change, so I started adjusting the nylon nuts and here we are

Hi all-the bell-crank that actuates the cross rod broke on my guitar. I have a spare that I used from a change/pedal on the guitar I'm not using and I got it put back together with the same positions as far as the bellcrank and rods. My issue now is that I can get a E to Eb or an E to F change to wo...

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a big thank you to Joe Naylor for some great customer service-I've been using one of his seats for about 5 years now and needed a cap for one of the legs so it wouldn't rock back and forth, and he very generously sent me extras along with some funny stories...

Hey Bob,

another forum member contacted me privately and I'm getting a bar-thanks everybody...

Hey y'all,

Called a few places and having no luck...

Thanks,

Jamey

I'm interested in the older Session 400 with the metal knobs?

Hi there,

Is the Session 400 still available, and do you accept PayPal?

Hi all, Thanks for all the feedback. Yeah, those Ken Fox amps are pretty cool lookin', but I'm thinking of a cheap(er) high-headroom single 15" or 12" speaker-equipped amp. I've used tube amps all along, but I'm more and more intrigued with solid-state amps as they're comparatively dirt-ch...

Hi there,

I'm in Austin and I'm curious if you take PayPal?

Thanks!

Guitar is sold-donation made-thanks everyone!

Hi Mike, I was tuning the guitar recently and had a few questions. Is there an order you usually go in for tuning/string changing? When you tune, do you always hold down the A and B pedals to compensate for cabinet drop, and it seems like some of the nylon nuts tighten clockwise and some tighten cou...

Hi all,

I just got a black Emmons Legrande SKH (from another forum member-big thanks to Ron Whitworth) and I thought I'd ask the community about favorite string sets-I'm still a novice, so I guess I'm looking for a good all-around string set? Also, any thoughts on stainless steel vs. nickel? Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm looking for some suggestions for a good double-duty amp for steel and telecaster-Thanks!

Guitar has been sold-donation forthcoming. Thanks everybody!

Here is a lightly used GFI Student model- it's light weight, stays in tune, and is great for learning on. Never gigged-only taken to lessons. Some of the paint is coming off of the black frame on the player side, and there's a little spot on the mica in the back that could be re-glued, but very good...

Thanks to all the responses from the forum members-I located a black Emmons SKH Legrand SD-10 that I'll be picking up in Dallas!

Hi all,

I'm in the market for an SD-10 in the $2500-2800 range, preferably an Emmmons, Mullen, or other quality brand? I'm moving up from a GFI student model and would like to try a differnt sound.
