The Steel Guitar Forum

It seems there have been a few salvaged and rebuilds of these lately. The body I won on Ebay is in very good condition but missing some parts including the nut, bridge, and pickup mounting brackets.
I DO have the proper pickup for this (chrome magnet?) but no screws/hardware for it. Any one have any extras for sale? Knobs too. Auction on eBay. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brad Bechtel on 09 April 2006 at 04:12 PM.]</p></FONT>

Hey Loni: I`ve got some knobs`n`stuff. E-Mail Me.

I've got one that's complete, in case you want to come over and try to match or size out parts. I'm just across the valley from you.

Thanks Guys, I will be in touch.

You're gonna LOVE that thing when it's done. I'm having so much fun with mine - the tone is unearthly.

Glad you could get the parts. If you run into any hangups I can give you dimensions for the nut and bridge, which could each be cut from a chunk of ebony.

Are you going to refinish it? I can't quite tell what condition the paint is in (sorry, I didn't read the hole description).

Hi guys,

I haven't posted in ages, but I just picked up an empty bodied NS yesterday for $30. Fortunately, I also bought the Tele that has the pickup from the Rick. I plan to pull the pickup out and put it in its rightful owner, but the biggest need I have is dimension on the nut and specs on the wiring.

Your help is appreciated!

Thanks, Sutton

Tell ya what Loni, the NS project I did was a lot of fun and the tone of those bodies are fantastic. Prepare to fall in love when your done. I'm DYING to get my hands on a NS body again. I put a P-90 in the one I did, and even with that (as opposed to a horseshoe) the sustain and clarity was "other worldly" So are you going to take her stock looking or far out?

I'm embar assed to admit I have not done a thing with the steel other than re-tap some stripped mounting holes. All I need to do is make a nut and bridge and wire it up. Probably just put some Fender Tele knobs on it.
I was thinking about stuffing it with Confederate money and losing race track tickets to give it more soul. What do you think?

I used girlie magazine pages............
for the articles of course.
