Promat D-10 No Longer For Sale, Please Close

[Andy DePaule]

Would love to see a photo of the underside of the guitar.

Hi Jeffrey,
I don't have a really good photo of the underside and the guitar is at Steel Guitars Of North Country.
I think if you contact Jim there he will take an up to date photo for you.
This is the link to his site; http://www.steelguitars.me
I'm out of the USA until July.

Would love to see a photo of the underside of the guitar.

Hi Jeffrey,
I just found these two photos.
These were from when I received the guitar and some parts were missing so the photos are not up to date at all.
Since these photos were taken, Jim has worked on the steel and got it working perfect, but they do show the nice quality of the workmanship and the build.




I'd still say you can contact Jim and ask him to take a photo of the entire underside for you. If he sends that to me I will post it in this thread.
Best wishes,
Andy

No price change. Will not be one. Just want to get back to page #1

[Andy DePaule]

Page 2 is not where it belongs... Belongs in your house with you playing it.
Tell the wife she'll just have to go to work so you can buy it!

No price change. Will not be one. Just want to get back to page #1 where someone, maybe you will see it!

[Andy DePaule]

Get it back up on page #1...

Page 2 is not where it belongs...
Should be in your house with you playing it.
Tell the wife it's a great investment!

Last chance at buying this Promat before Jim ships it back to me.
If you think you may be missing a great steel, your right!

Andy,

You've made reference to your "weird" tuning a couple of times in the past.
I'd be interested in knowing what that tuning is.

This coming from another non-standard tuning player

Hi John,
Actually it's not all that weird. I'm also considering switching LKR & RKL so it will be the same as the Promat when I get that back in a couple of weeks.



I am also thinking of moving pedal 4's function to pedal 2 and making pedal 4 the standard 3rd E9th pedal... Maybe. Thats because I hardly ever use the raised 10th string, but use the lowered 10th as part of A6th pedals down playing more often.
Thats kind of like non-pedal but the knee levers almost all work well in the pedals down playing position.

I have what the doctors call Essential Tremors. Worse in my right hand than left.
Having a shaky left hand works fine for vibrato, but not so good for the picking hand. Thats also why I have the armrest pad higher than normal for better support.
For playing ET sometimes cause me to pick the wrong string! Yicks!
Picking a C# by mistake sounds better that an Eb in both pedals up and pedals down. Still a wrong note, but better!

Please close this up Bob.
Jim will be shipping the steel back to me next week and I'm looking forward to using it again. The damage it had when I received it last year is all fixed up nice as new now.
