Steel Guitar Builder

Thanks Scott, appreciate it, email address sent :) I noticed after looking at the photo again that yours was also a 2 lever model, but both on the left. Mine has one lever on the left and one on the right, e - eb on the left and the raise on the right side of the guitar. Don't know why they did it t...

Hi Scott, Seat looks good :) That looks like the same GFI as I have, is it the student model? I have one the same colour but just 2 knee levers. Could you possibly put up a few photos on the undercarriage for me, I bought mine 2nd hand and think the rodding has been changed, so I've been playing abo...

Richard, so sorry to hear that, I guess the main thing is that nobody was hurt. I have a friend who's house was destroyed by fire one New Years night, he had a partner and 3 young kids at the time, they just made it out in time. However, everything was destroyed. He said the worst part is the memori...

So I''ve heard Ron

I'd still like to give it a try though

Hi, I recently bought a Weissenborn guitar from a company based in the South of England, this one, http://www.anderwoodguitars.com/products_Big_Island_weissenborn.php If you look at their site, the impression is that these are made by their own Luthiers. In fact they are made in China by this compan...

Hi Richard, Thanks for the info, your 6 channel pickup sounds interesting. I'd already checked out the info on the music-electronics site, in fact I recently joined the forum, some very useful info there generally. I started work on an Alumnitone style pickup but it kinda ground to a halt when I dis...

Hi, As I'm completely new to all of this, I thought it might be an idea to build a little workshop before I start actually doing anything. I've just about got enough tools & accessories now to make a start, although my desired tools list just seems to keep growing, I'm sure you all know what I mean ...

I use a Boss GT3 multi-effects pedal, a bit old hat these days but still a good unit and it does all that I need. When I first bought my pedal steel I used the volume pedal on the Boss but there were a few drawbacks, first the whole effects pedal needs to sit below the pedal steel and it's quite wid...

Looks really sweet Ron, you have every right to feel proud of the result :D As a relative newcomer to playing PS I would say that perseverence is the key. When I first started the neighbours thought the cat was being strangled, actually it was my wife strangling me if I didn't stop making that racke...

As long as Oddjob doesn't remove his hat you should be OK

Or as Ewan Mcgregor said to Sean Connery on a Scottish chat show,

Mish Moneypenny, you're a s*ite for shore eyes
