The Steel Guitar Forum

Not sure if these levers are common with pedal steel components? Has anybody seen these this type of lever? They are on a 24 string I assume 1 off build and one lever has broken. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/9945_20220903_115358_1.jpg https://bb....

G'day All, Need some help and or opinions, research, hunches and theories about this one. I purchased a very large and heavy 24 string "lap steel" guitar? A weird piece of equipment needing sorting out and maybe a new owner capable of playing it. Listed at auction as:- AUSTRALIAN MADE 24 S...

Beautiful job. I believe the flying saucer knobs are correct and look great.
I will post a link in the Facebook Rickenbacker Lap Steel group. Please check it out.

Unfortunately the Facebook Gibson Lap Steel Group was mistakenly set up as privacy and cannot be changed. All welcome and any Gibson related posts are most welcome and sort after.

For anyone interested specifically in Gibson lap steels, amps and outfits there is now a Gibson lap Steel Facebook Group:-

Here is an interesting item from a 1938 music store catalog. I had not seen one before and was wondering if any survived?
Does anyone either have one or has anyone used one? Very limiting I would think.

Hi, C.E, My Silver Hawaiian sounds beautiful particularly through its matching amp. The case of the guitar is covered with the same tweed as the amp.+ https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/9945_P1014452_703x800_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/9945_P1014445_779x800_1.jpg https...

This 24 string steel guitar turned up at an Australian auction this week. It was apparently made in Australia. It has a DELTA hold at airport label in the name Steve Weingarten on the case. So does anyone know anything about this instrument or Steve Weingarten? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpi...

Exactly Lee!

Possibly pedals. But it would be good to find someone that knows the story?

do you use it?

it does look like that one cap is about to pop.

play music!

Yes I do use the amp no on off just plug and play.

Very interesting! Any chance for a photo of the original Battery setup? How about a Schematic or Tube List? Much of Rural America was not electrified until after WWII. Farms had battery powered Tube Radios. So did Autos. As a result, big batteries were more common and presumably more affordable bac...

I will follow up with pics of the battery casing and the chassis. This is the Islander guitar that accompanied the amp.

I have several Oahu amps and Recently found an oddity that I have not been able to find any information about. This is a “standard” Oahh amp:- https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/9945_C32F0906C86A4B918044B8F084BA12C9_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/9945_663446303DED4BA9...

Hi All,
I am trying to find a OMI Dobro E45 6 lap steel guitar.
They were made between 1979 and 1986.
if you have one please make contact.
Cheers

This what it looks like only with 4 less strings:-

I thought this might be of interest to members. I would have thought this would be VERY rare?
