Steel Guitar Builder

Hey Ron, That is really looking good! Is that the same changer you started when you posted back in April 2014? I followed that post with great interest and would like to hear how it has worked out for you. If you can could you post a little more on your under carriage design. I like how you put that...

A few years back, I purchased an old pedal steel guitar that was a built by someone many years ago and it was ...

I'm happy that you have it working and you are pleased with your guitar. If you search the net you should be able to find the proper string gauge for what ever tuning you chose to use, but they are likely in Doug's book anyway. Enjoy your new found toy.
