The Steel Guitar Forum

Well, it was a real kick to play with y'all. Looking forward to playing some more trumpet in FEB13.

Just got back from Yuma,AZ and picked up my D-10 Lacquer Infinity from Frank Carter. It looks and sounds beautiful.

Can't wait to see your new psg...post some pictures and let us drool on them....Congrats Dean....jr

thanks to all who made it fun this past year.....which was just about everybody! I must say that one of my fondest parts was when the Commander strutted his stuff on Shake Rattle and Roll! Heck, he had everybody Shake Rattling and Rolling! Thanks for makig it all fun. Heck, now we have many good things to be looking forward to, even the trumpet player will be playing steel! I am not sure many of us can reciprocate!
Joe, thanks for keeping this going and thanks to all the fine musicians. See you in February

The jam sessions are entirely my pleasure. The steel guitar has been taking a back seat to our western swing music too long and we are able to bring it to the front if only 3 hours a month 8 months a year.
We enjoy having you and for your continued contribution Mark...and you're right about Dean Schilling..he's a monster player on that trumpet...think how he'll be on that new Infinity.Stephen Cowell, you are a "HOOT" and we appreciate you coming to the jam sessions....jr

You sure stepped on my toes there Joe since 70 percent of what I play is Western Swing and I love it.

Roger, My Hero, you know where our hearts are...Western Swing and will stay with Western Swing forever...however the Commander is a "HOOT" and everyone laughs and enjoys his song. But there is nothing like Roger Edgington playing western swing....how was that getting out of trouble?...jr

You did good Bob.

Hope these pix's upload OK.

My reasons for picking the Infinity are:

1) sweet creamy sound enhanced by rock-maple block wood
2) 20 coat lacquer finish to maintain wood moister control
3) key-changer brackets incorporating rollers, making
the key changes ultra-smoooth, WITHOUT compensators.
You can actually hear this on Frank's website -

"My Weakness Is Too Strong"

4) Telonics Model 34 & 84 string pickups, with amazing pole adjustment for balance, string separation, voicing and sustain.
5) Telonics FP-100 volume pedal, directly connected to the pickups in (4), with even-harmonic tube sound characteristics.
6) Custom fitted pedals and knee-levers/paddles
7) Inlay (Alabaster?) decor
8)Standard Emmons copedents for E9 & C6, using 8 pedals and 8 knee-levers

Deeeeaannn... man, that is one smooth guitar. I can't find all the knees... we need more photos, belly-up!

I now see why you were so hyped on this brand... very nice indeed. The inlay decoration is ah-baloney, I believe.

Congrats Dean very nice Infinity !
You should post this over in Pedal Steel.

Wow dean, that's one heck of steel !
i'm sure you're going to have a great time w: it
thanx for puttin' up the pics, don't get to see enough pics or info on Infinitys here
from what i've heard, Mr Carter, makes an excellent psg

Thanks guys. Glad you found this informative. I'm also setting up Band-In-A-Box, per Jim Baron's files, so that should make practice more interesting.

I'll be playing every other week in the Big Valley starting next month (Donna, TX). Hope we can get together somewhere in the mean time.

Y'all take care now ! Deano
