The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm looking for someone who can set up an old Fender cable system pedalsteel in the NYC or upstate Ny area for a friend.

He would consider shipping the steel to someone who knows how to deal with the cable tuning system if he needs to.

Bob,,,
Well I do know someone,,,but I cant do it right now,,,maybe later on. It will take me a little time,,,but at this time ,,I dont have much time to do much anything, I do know of another Fender Freek who may be able to help,,,,will give him a call,,,,he has no
computer.

I'll try for you,,,cant stand a Fender not feeling well. Must be the Fender in my soul.

He is a long way from you, but I would send it to Blackie Taylor. he has been repair for over 40 years and has the backround with Fenders. Unless you can find someone closer, I would really consider sending it to him, he was playing Fenders when they first came out.

The cable system is dirt-simple. If it only needs to be set up (and he has a copedant selected), even a novice could do it in less than an hour! All you have to do is place the loops on the proper pulling fingers, tighten the turnbuckles to remove the slack, and then adjust the phillips screws to tune the pulls. The normal timing and leverage adjustments (required on rod-system guitars) are moot...since there aren't any on the Fender.

Steven made a good suggestion in Blackie,,if you care to ship it to California,,,Its a heavy one,,,good choice Steven. Blackie is a
pro on Fenders.
