The Steel Guitar Forum

Guitar is sold and on its way!

The guitar is sold pending funds.

I'd like to clarify that the changer bolts passing through the endplate is not a defect, it's a feature of BCT. Thanks!

Hey all, I've decided to sell one of my Carters. This guitar is a basic 3X4 setup. I'm not sure of the year, but I believe it is an older model. I do believe it has BCT technology, (two of the changer bolts run through the end plate assembly). Cosmetically the guitar is not perfect. Some scratches o...

From my experience, DSLR cameras are just not built for long form video. They capture superior imagery and you get the flexibility of interchangeable lenses but they are not the best choice for capturing entire shows. It seems like camcorders are kind of old fashion now, but they will typically run ...

Thanks Bob!

The length of the one that came off is 18.5" This is just an appliqué so I'm thinking they should run around 30.00?

Hey all, I'm in need of a new "fretboard" for a Carter project I'm working on. I don't think I'd be able to obtain a new Carter board so I'm interested in where I can get one of any brand. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey all. Checking to see if anyone has split cabinets for a Session 400, or even just the cabinet for the head. Thanks!

Very interested in listening to this!

Thanks for all the info so far! I'm following your leads.

I’m willing to go 2500.00 with a little bit of wiggle room.

Hi Mikiya, I'm in the market for one of these guitars. Did you actually offload this guitar? If not, I would be interested in purchasing. Thanks!

Hey all, I’m currently in the market for a good quality square neck resonator. There’re a lot of brands out there and I’m pretty much open to anything newer. I currently have a 70’s Dobro so that is not what I’m looking for. I’d like solid mahogany. It seems like those sound the best to me. It would...

Hey Ken, I'd like to buy the B9. Let me know how you prefer payment and I'll send you my address. I am traveling for the next 3 weeks, and will land in Ohio after that. I'll send you an address to send it to. Thanks!

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a try. On an additional note, these nylons are like a half inch longer than the originals. I didn't think I would like this, but it's actually nice to not have to bend over and twist to the side and crank your neck to see the tuners. I like it!

I recently started using mine again. WOW does it sound great! I bought the thing back in the early 80's and it still outshines any other amp I own. Good luck with the sale!

Hey all, I just put new nylons on my Carter. I ordered them from Steel Guitars of Canada to be sure I got the right ones for my guitar (3/32 rods). I put them on and man are they tight! I feel like I have to crank on them so hard that the rods twist and it seems like it effects getting the note dial...

Identical to the first pedal steel I ever owned! Very cool!

I've suffered from 2 bum deals buying steel guitars here. It took everything I had to not slay the sellers on the Forum, however one of them did what he could to make it right. The other knew darn well what he did. At any rate, I've also made some good purchases and in the end would do it again. Thi...

I'm in please and thank you!

Hey Fish! I heard your appearance on The Buddy and Jim show on Outlaw Country. I've been an avid listener to the country stations on Sirius Radio for years and have longed for one of the DJ's to feature a show about pedal steel and the players. You did a such a great job talking about the book and r...

Nice! I found a pic of Rusty playing a black single neck Carter. I find it interesting that 2 iconic players from the same era ended up playing Carters. Rusty from Poco and John Call from Pure Prairie League.

Does anyone have pictures of the Carters he played? I'm a big fan of the S10 Carters!

At first I was excited to think that Pedal Steel was getting exposure. Then I read the article. Twice he refers to the instrument as an "antique" and once as a "behemoth." He starts the article off leading one to believe that sacred steel is one of the new directions for the peda...
