The Steel Guitar Forum

Dan, seams like I saw something about Gregg not building guitars. If so that is sad. I have one of his 8 string guitars and love it. I bought it in 2012. He was at one time a member here and at Reso Hangout. Just did a search here and the latest post found was in 2012 – 2013.

Jim, put me down. I was born in Denham Springs and now live in Granbury, TX.

Dave can you make some for a 8 string sq neck?

Richard, I have a Sho-bud pro II custom. I bought it from Ricky Davis after he rebuilt it. I have owned it for about 3 years. Limited playing time after the rebuild and never been gigged. Also a N112 amp and seat with back rest.

I have a 8 string being built by Gregg McKenna. I have a Flux capo for the 6 string and although I do not use it very much it seems to work well. Is there a 8 string capo that anyone would suggest?

Pat

Thanks guy’s for the help. I went with a Fishman PRO-LBX-500 Loudbox Mini. By the way, while here in CA it would be great to come see some of the locals around the Bay Area play, and maybe take some resonator and/or PSG lessons. Any suggestions?

Pat

I am looking for a small amp to use with a mic to play a resonator guitar. It does not have to be 100 watts. It will be used in a small building. Any suggestions?

Larry, you might want to check out Mark van Allen's website. He has 2 CD that are great for Reso.

David, I use Storm/Pelican cases for my Sho-Bud Pro II custom and my Beard reso guitars. I like the cases for their durability and water proof abilities. I travel quite a bit and when I drive the cases go in the bed of my pick up truck. I have 3 cases bought in 2003 for luggage that have traveled al...

Has anyone tried a set of Live Steel Strings on their Reso guitar?

Austin is the Road-O-Phonic still for sale?

Guys, I am not much of a steel player, having owned one for 2 years with limited playing time. My work requires me to travel around the US. However I am on a long term assignment in the Hayward, CA area and would donate my time to help. I should be here for 1 to 1 ½ years. Also if there is someone i...

I bought 2 thumb picks from Blue Chip Picks to play my reso. I have not had a chance to try them on the PSG. Hope to try them when I get home next week. Here is a link. http://shop.bluechippick.net/ I also ordered some ProPicks. Again I will try them next week when I get home. Here is their link. ht...

Ricky, glad to here you are back in the refurb business. I know you and James will do great things for the Sho-buds that people have out there. I have been away from home all summer on an outage in Mississippi. I have been away so long my wife bought a new house and I bought a new Harley Davidson (9...

Clift, e-mail sent.

Had an opportunity to meet Mike along with some other fine players at the Alabama Steel Show last fall in Montgomery. All the players there were a class act and upstanding people. Mike as well as many others took the time to explain and talk to a new-be. All the players there left a big impression.

Darvin, I will take the changer. Please call me at 913-238-7065 (Cell). I will be in Bastrop, TX on Feb 6 and can meet you somewhere.

I had the pleasure last spring to go and get a lesson form Herb. He is an upstanding person. While there I purchased many courses from him and it has helped me in the learning process of the PSG. I will be in the Bastrop area again in Feb and hope to have time to get another lesson form Herb. If you...

Ed, one can see you have spent a great amount of time on this spreadsheet. I would love to look at it. E-mail sent to you. By the way I once lived in Young, AZ.

Tony thanks for setting Bo straight. Bo, no apology needed. I have followed yours and Stuart’s post many times. I do not post much on the forum. One thing I use this spreadsheet for is to take tabs and break them down and list the cords the player is using. I have had my PSG for just less than 1 yea...

I had some spare time while sitting in the airport the other day and started putting a spreadsheet together that compares the Buddy Emmons set-up as it relates to the notes played on a keyboard. The keyboard was laid out and the each note from the copedant was placed on the spreadsheet. The sharp/fl...

James/Ricky, I have Pelican and Storm case Ricky can use. I use the Pelican for the D10 Bud I bought from Ricky. It has pull and pluck foam. I pack the Bud, legs, bar, volume pedal, picks, and bar. That way I have what I need incase the other (pack-a-seat) or other luggage gets lost. I have a couple...

Ken, what would the dimensions of the case need to be? I might have something that would work. By the way, thanks for installing the chip in my 112 at the ASGA Show a couple of weeks ago. You are a top notch person and your wife is nice too.
