Steel Guitar Builder

Rick, you're welcome. When you have questions, just throw them on the forum. If I don't have the time or knowledge to respond, I am sure there are others who do( I have seen some great changers on here!)

Georg, if your aim is to put tuneable lower return stop for each string, I would suggest (for now) that you use individual stop screws instead of the conventional plate. This would be the same idea as split tuning screws that you find on most modern steels. Could be hard to do on a retrofit, but muc...

Hi Rick and jbartee, I am responding to your post of almost a year ago. Just wanted to shed light on some facts regarding changers. This is the way I see it and it may not be the general consensus, only my own, and as a result of my own experiences. I see the changer as the heart or brains of the pe...

Dave, Mike, Paul, Thanks so much! Well I guess I am doing cartwheels in my mind anyway! It was indeed very nice of Lloyd to say this. One thing about Lloyd Green...he speaks his mind and what he says, you can take to the bank.
Everyone who commented, thanks a lot as well. It do feel good!

It is well deserved Ron. I like your attention to detail..like the retainer you worked into the part...to keep the nut from turning when tightening

I want to post this, not wanting to claim any bragging rights. For that, I am too humbled by this person's assessment of my work. One man, whom I have respected and admired since 1971, gave his honest opinion and it is so much worth sharing with everybody. Please go here http://benrom.com/testimonia...

Wow..all these parts are so purdy and well planned that I am envious and taken by the workmanship. There is getting to be so many fine builders out there!

Xavier, that is not only nice but also a very unique sound and tone IMHO
Great work and great end result!

Steve, there might be standards for this - don't know. What I do is decide where I want the first pedal rod- say 5" from inside of the end plate or somewhere between 1st and 2nd tuning key. Then this decides where your pedal needs to go and this again decides where the pedal crank has to be, as well...

Yes, gotcha Dave! Whatever we find that works best for us. Your designs are highly functional and at the same time beautiful!
