The Steel Guitar Forum

Just got my new 8 string Clinesmith lap steel. All I can say is wow!

I'll be busy for a while. Carry on with out me.

VIOLATION! VIOLATION!

You're not allowed to post something like this without PHOTOS!!

Sheesh, where were you brought up??

Who has time for photos when a new Clinesmith is in the crib?

I'll get some ups soon.

YES! Pictures please!

Congratulations. It will instantly make you play better!

Pictures are mandatory. You can't just post that and leave.

Hopefully i'll be getting my own soon.

Well, that attitude seems a little selfish to me...

Okay, some pretty bad photos from my cell phone.

Looks pretty sweet!

NOW we're talkin'.

OK, you can go practice now. Thankyavurrymuch.

Wow, congratualations Bill. It bears a striking resemblence to this one, that was on display at Jim Palenscar's shop in Oceanside, last month.

Congratulations, Bill. After playing Mike Neer's Clinesmith in Dallas, I can understand your time away from the Forum.

We want audio now!!!

Congrats, Bill. You're a lucky man.

I'm going to be digging into this instrument in a big way. I'll report back as soon as I've had a chance to play it more, but first impressions are just how smooth it is and the sound is so impressive.

I've got c6 with the Junior Brown bottom string. Big difference from my Diana with the open E. Lot of transitioning to do.

Lawdy Miss Clawdy!!!! Bill

Congrats Bill
Looks like some nice maple. Have fun

Well, I've just spent the most enjoyable time behind a steel that I've ever had. The combination of the tuning and the instrument has opened up a huge window for me. I've been jamming to So What and old Grant Green cd's. Incredible. Not ready to post yet but getting close.

Man I love that! Gorgeous!

The pictures don't do it justice.
