Well done. I really enjoyed both the playing and the tone.

A buffer allows your signal to retain its high frequencies. When you run an instrument through cables and pedals you suffer some high frequency loss. Using a buffer electronically matches the impedanc ...

Thanks all. I appreciate the links.

I'm relatively new to this but moving along. my question is about right hand picking patterns. Right now I'm wondering about the preferred way to pick a major scale. I see many people play it differen ...

KGNU FM Boulder has a show called Honky Tonk Heroes. I am not affiliated with the station but do really enjoy their programming. This show had a fair amount of pedal steel. I hope somebody enjoys the ...

I use a pair of "Barefoot" running shoes. Thin sole and light weight. Mine are Merrill knockoffs. They look like bowling shoes and are Dude Certified. Smile

I bought an amp from Canada. Tubes were removed and bubble wrapped. It's OK to wiggle in a circular motion (the tubes) and pull. If they're really resisting, a shot of Deoxit at the base will help.

Outstanding! Congratulations.

I discovered that my left hand ring finger sometimes puts pressure downward on the strings behind the bar. This causes a buzz. Technique needed adjustment, not the instrument.

So I just wanted to say thanks for the helpful information and generosity. Eddie from OK sent me a knee lever bracket. I changed it out and now the case closes. I also ordered one from PSG parts so I ...

I will second that. I just bought a part for my Sho Bud.
Excellent service. Thanks for your dedication.

Congratulations. New instruments bring joy.

I was fortunate to find a 1979 Pro I in great condition. The case however, was mildewy. Could not get the stink out so I tore it down to bare wood, bleached, shellaced and refelted the inside. Now I h ...

Thank you!

Have you tried adjusting your pickup height? I'm new to psg but I know electric guitars and pickup height makes a difference in tone. Also check your output jack wiring and grounding.

The last page of the serial number sticky above shows it to be from Dec 1977 but it's a coincidence in terms of the numbers vs date.

BTW what's a dust catcher?

Thanks for the kind comments. It was an online transaction from out of state. I got lucky.

Your post helped me a lot. Thank you.
