Here's my new ExStar S-8. It's currently in transit from Japan.

What are you tuned to? I have a Williams S8 8&5 tuned to G.

I guess you could call it a G13, but it's just alternating major ...

Yes, that's one reason I prefer 8-string over 10.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I really appreciate you all taking the time.

And, I guess I'll explain a bit just to allay some people's fear of me reinventing the wheel. I've played violin for 4 ...

Thanks Donny! Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to play an up lever in combination with a right or left lever on the same knee? Is that a friendly or unfriendly combination?

Thanks Ian, that makes sense. Do you see levers having any advantages at all over pedals?

BTW, I see that you play an Excel. I just ordered one yesterday, an 8-stringer.

I'm pretty new to PSG and am experimenting with my copedent. I'm wondering what the advantages and disadvantages are for assigning any particular bend to a knee lever vs a foot pedal? What factors do ...

Like Dave Stagner, I use Acri because of their fit and comfort. They're only about $15 for a pair.

Bill, I'm not going to take your advice but I appreciate you taking the time to give it. BTW, I stumbled upon and watched your video a couple of months ago. We're just about the same age; I'll be turn ...

Thanks for the reply Steve. I do think something like that Fender would probably serve my purposes. I played violin for 45 years (but I've had to give it up because of a physical issue). So I have a p ...

I'm a newbie in this forum and to pedal steel in general. I'm looking to buy an 8-string. There is a new listing on ebay for a Fender 400 for $1300. I wonder whether any of you could give me some advi ...
