Mine broke in the same place. I cleaned it up good and brazed it back on a couple years ago and have not had any problems.

I feel bad about this I knew that when having issues like this is to check freedom of movement of everything and I went for the changer instead of starting where the movement starts and going from the ...

Good job Mats.. Now you can get to enjoying your playing. Your problem has been a learning experience for you and me too.😀

How was it working before you took it apart and cleaned it? Another thing to check is there a little bit of slack in the rods with no pedals or levers engaged? By slack I mean can you feel a slight am ...

What steel do you have? It kind of sounds like something may possibly be binding or worn causing it to not move freely when pressure is applied. There's an excellent video by Mickey Adams on the lube ...

I had a similar problem with my ShoBud a couple years ago and was able to cure it by adjusting the return spring tension. Did not take much at all.

I got mine in September 2022
I agree with Mr King on his assessment of the Encore

Keith, go to their site and look at the tuning chart. The splits I have used work great. I had Doug help me with a split I wanted to use and his directions had me up and playing in less than 5 minutes ...

Depends on the option you choose, by the month, 3 months or a year. Depending on your budget.

I just recently found out about tabedit and went to reading up on it. The way it allows you to set your copedence is very nice feature. I have guitarpro and neck diag2 that I use but I still end up wr ...

What Mike said is true, I have done this before. The face side is around .130 thick so their is plenty to work with. Also the face side of the rack can be flattened with file some this will help the s ...

JD I like your analogy of this. As the times have changed the ways of playing the steel have changed too. I will pickup and use any technique I find useful or that I can do. Things I was told not to d ...

Joe Wright's The Wright Hand has worked for me. Using thumb and 3 finger picks is very natural feel to me and for blocking I use what is convenient at the time. To me it is what feels comfortable to y ...

I am no professional or even close but l really like the setup Doug Earnest uses on the Encore to me it has a great positive feel.

When I ordered my Encore I had questions about the pickup. I have L710's in my bud and love the sound. After having the Encore now for a few months of playing the thoughts of changing the pickup have ...

I have a Jackson on a tele. It works smooth and accurate and stays in tune. The ability to do drop D and accurately return to E is very neat. I am raising the B and G whole step ( on separate levers) ...

I have made pedal bar spacers before out of plastic milk cartons. they are easy to cut out and you can make a hole punch out of a piece of thin wall tubing or get a hole punch kit from Harbor Freight.

This saddens me very much. I listened to Tony a lot and just could not wait to listen to his next new post. Toney and that ShoBud were a perfect match always sounded great. He will be missed. He was o ...
