Looking for a dust cover for my 3 neck

Post by Regan Branch »

My Remington Steelmaster is approximately 34 x 15 inches. Does anyone have a recommendation for a dust cover so i don't have to put it in the case after every session to protect it. Any other suggestions for preserving the quality of this instrument are welcome.

Contact Leann Sharp at Sharp Covers Nashville. She makes great custom covers and is very reasonably priced.

Dank response to Jack's suggestion? I'm sure he meant a freshly laundered bath towel...
I actually use a black towel to cover my psg.
(Freshly laundered, of course.)

Seriously, I've been using the same white towel (stolen from a Howard Johnson's closer to the middle than the end of the last century) to cover my D-10 Emmons since about 1977. It's getting a little ragged, and it's definitely not a pro cover, but it works for me.

Hell, if you've got the dough-re-mi, cover it with mink if you wanna!

I use one of those snap towels,the ones that are supposed to cool you off when you get them wet, ring them out then snap them with both hands. It covers my 64 year old Rick lap steel perfectly .

When he pops that rag he's the chattanoogie shoe shine boy lol.

For all you old men, "DANK" does not mean dark and wet anymore, it just means cool. As in, "Hey man, that's some DANK weed you got there, you have a DANK shirt on as well".

That's a novel idea. I should have one in a chest somewhere... I think I may get one of the custom made ones for christmas, but if not that sounds really cool. Thanks for your creativity.

I use a dark bed sheet cloth cut cover for my single console......but I do have animals and I don't play it everyday....but the cloth keeps the dust and pet hair off the machine ....its light...and takes up no space when its removed...and it does the job for me. I'm sure a local upholstery pr alteration shop could make you a nice heavier cover for your deminsions...but the cost will surprise you for a triple console....either way a simple dust cover is needed if it's left out a

These covers were made for a few dollars of worth of thin vinyl from a fabric store.

A friend with a sewing machine is the only other thing you need.

The covers keep out the dust but at the same time let you enjoy looking at the guitar

I think my patriotic beach towel would have more credibility if I weren't an escaped Canuck.
