Hi, Can anyone advise where I can get the string rollers (at the keyhead) for a Derby 10 string lap steel. I'm assuming these are the same as the Derby pedal steel. Or can someone machine these for specific string gauges? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Storm, unfortunately I just can't get to the BSG web site bsgsteelguitars.com. It just comes up with related links. Is he still in business? Am I doing something wrong? Cheers Pete

I'll try to find his email address. It's possible that he let the domain registration lapse.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

I just tried to get these from Don yesterday. He says he is now retired due to health.
