The Steel Guitar Forum

Happy Birthday Mr Franklin. I enjoyed our good visit and talk in St Louis when I was playing lead for Herby Wallace. I think of you when I’m enjoying an Ice Cream Sandwich. ( you still owe me one ). . Happy Birthday my friend.

The Peavey Transtubefex and speaker combo has sold. I’m still going through material and CD’s. Been out of town with family emergency. I will try get on a list of the teaching material just soon as I get home. Thank you all so much for your patience.

I couldn’t live without mine! I plug my “seat strip” in and then I have access to everything that needs power. My Hilton, pedal board, my Little Walter, my tuner when I discover I forgot to charge it, etc , etc etc. it’s right there with much fewer cables and cords running everywhere.

Please tell all your friends and share this event with them. It’s going to be a fantastic show!

This is a show you’ll want to see!!!! The incredibly talented Eddie Lang, Dave Jackson of “No Fences” Garth Brooks Tribute, The Lloyd Wood Show & the almost world famous “Million Dollar Garage Band” along with the amazingly talented and good looking multi instrumentalist David Graves, along with...

My very dear friend and great steel player Denny Barnes passed away last year. I’ve been asked by his widow to help sell his equipment. His equipment stayed IMMACULATE and never left the house. He kept all owners manuals and even original packing. All monies will go to his wife… All prices plus ship...

Hey Al…. I sent photos through your email associated with the forum here but now it’s not letting me resend. Can you PM me your actual email address and I’ll resend the info again. Sorry for the problems.

I have an early to mid 1950’s Gibson L-48 in sunburst. If you have interest let me know and I’ll get some pictures. It plays great looks great and sounds great.
Thanks.

I wondered where that Emmons was. I remember saving pictures of it when Mike rebuilt it. That is one of the most beautiful pedal steels on the planet In my opinion.

I also play lead guitar, banjo, acoustic and steel through my Little Walter 89 2x12. I use my bright channel for my lead guitar and the normal channel for my Zum Hybrid D-10. I also use a Headrush pedal board for my effects. I run my Little Walter fairly flat on EQ and then have a patch set for each...

Still looking for photos or videos of the show. Thank you.

Not sure what you’re looking for in a fingerpick, but I discovered ACRI finger picks and now I won’t use anything else. I do Fingerstyle acoustic guitar competitions and play banjo, dobro, steel etc etc. These wrap around your fingers and don’t dig in to your cuticles or cause pain. They stay put an...

If anyone got pictures or videos from this years show, I’d sure like to acquire a copy or two. It was a great show. Mike Sweeney is an amazing musician and we all had a fantastic time!!! Thank you all so much!

I’m needing a cover for my Little Walter 212 combo. I’d like to find someone that can do the “Little Walter” logo like the amp. Any thoughts? Sharp covers had the correct font and beautiful colors but I can’t get any response from them. Thanks in advance .

If any of the fine folks that attended the Indy Steel show on June 5th got any video or pictures, I’d love to see about getting copies. Thank you so much!

Just 50 hours till show time!!!!

You sure don’t want to miss this years show!!! Not only the great Mike Sweeney, Dave Jackson, Sharon, Jerry, Amber Martin and many others but with surprisingly little begging and pleading on my part, I’ve assembled the most amazing backing band you will ever hear!!! The rhythm section was labeled as...

If you tap on the words ‘picture file’ at the beginning of his post it will bring up the steel. A very nice looking Carter.

Thank Goodness I’ve got a D-10 Hybrid!! It would sound strange blaming Bruce for my D-I-V-O-R-C-E !! That is the cream of the crop right there!!

We had a really fun time yesterday. Played a lot of good music and had a good day of camaraderie. Jerry Fessenden may disagree because he was the target of a couple pranks but it was all in fun and we had a great time! Our annual steel show will be June 5th with special guest Mike Sweeney, The Lloyd...

Yes, this Sunday March 6th. Sharon Denny and “the girls” will be there along with the great Dave Jackson and myself and others. . Looking forward to playing!

Hey folks... The Indy steel guitar club is still active. It’s been a long struggle with Covid and life as we know it. But we are having our quarterly club jam this coming Sunday March 6th at the Greenwood, IN American Legion from 2pm till 5pm. Bring whatever you play and join us. ( sorry... no banjo...

Like many others… I too have switched my steel to the NYXL’s and absolutely love the tone, sustain and especially how long they last. Ive had good luck with the Live Steel Strings and Jagwire as well but my Zum Hybrid Loves the NYXL’s.

I would like to find a Zum T shirt, hat, stickers etc etc. Shirt would need to be an XL. ( I’ve got wide shoulders. It has nothing to do with my big stomach. Lol ). Just looking for any memorabilia.
