The Steel Guitar Forum

Boy do I have a LOT to do this summer!
I'm 14 years old and There is a little music shop near where I live called the tuning fork, and I convinced the owner to buy a MSA
D-10 for 16 hundred and I fix it up a little and got to play it for about a half a year before he sold it. The owner told the buyer about my story and he gave me the old Seymore to fix up. It is definitely not in the best condition. Not everything works fixing the C6 neck would be a nightmare. I'm going to take out all the undercarriage and put back the E9 stuff. I might use some of the C6 stuff to use for parts but won't need a lot of the C6's mechanism. If anyone need any of the parts like the changer fingers, pedals, pedal rods or other things you probably can get them from me for practically nothing.

Thanks!

Could you post some pictures of the guitar.
Does it have any parts with Sho-Bud written on them, or any writing under the guitar.

I took out the undercarriage and put back the E9 cross shafts and Bellcranks.
Its also a pull-release guitar which makes things way more difficult.

How is the progress on the restoration going Abram?

Keep posting pictures if you can!!

Also if you are looking for parts, post that as well and I am sure someone on the forum will contact you.

Keep up the good work!!

Looks like you are into a questionable rebuild/restoration.

The wood looks like it may have came out of Noah's Arc.!!!!

I hope one of the Sho-Bud Goo-Roz Looks at the pictures, And can help you.

That looks like a bunch of pot metal parts. Some may have broke, And some crude steel parts with questionable looking brazing joints used in the process of replacing them.

Good Luck on this project.
