The Gibson looks like a skylark, and has some collectability because of its links to the Explorer/Flying V models.

John Enwistle's 200+ guitars were sold at Sotheby's today ... not many bargains.
Two of the three steels fetched pretty big sums, including this ricky which I think is an all-metal,

I have an old Regal that had a persistant buzz... turned out to be a cover plate screw. Most of the were pretty loose from a few decades of being unscrewed, and the plywod was pretty much stripped. an ...

PLEASE!

Do not put a quarterman in a vintage dobro. If it's an OMI, that's fine. But don't put one in a vintage. The old cones sound great, and pretty different, to the Q mans ... it's a matter of t ...

The guitar still sounds amazing.. the holes don't seem to diminish the tone at all. Yeah, I assumed they were for volume/tone pots (forgot about the input jack ... obvious, really). I've found some r ...

Brad, no. Not the standard dobro holes. (it has them, too). These are on the lower bout, parallel to the strings. How do I post a pic?

JD uses D tuning a fair bit – more these days than on his older, more bluegrass albums. (Check out little martha on lookout for hope)

It's a great fun tuning, especially for bluesy stuff.

I've just bought a 1938 Dobro Model 32 metal body "fiddle edge" guitar – nd very sweet it is too – but have a query. There are three holes drilled in a straight line along the lower bought; looks ...

Mike: any chance that painting everything peuce was something to do with television appearances, like Gibson's TV Yellow?

The words of somewhat who obviously hates dobros don't really cut it when it comes to criticising instruments/styles he doesn't even play. Whatever JB's standing is in the Hawaiian music scene, it's a ...

RL... interested in your comments on teh Epiphone spider. I agree with you about teh tone; for a low end dobro it does sound pretty good. A couple of words of warning, though ... I had one of these th ...

Aloha Mikey;

I found that the stamped cone really does sound better, -(if by better I mean louder and brasher, I guess) and I like the fact that the original cone is still in there ... I'm probably ...

Try asking the London Resonator Centre; they stock his stuff.

Got the same email, from a Jim Molberg. Makes a change from the usual spam, I guess.

Oh, stop trolling.

My two cents: if a Shubb fits your guitar comfortably, go with it. It really clamps the strings well and gives the most open tone. The biggest problem is with instruments - unfortunately, probably the ...

The GHS Jerry Douglas strings sound great ... for about two days! They also work well for lap steel.

I played a few new metal body squarenecks in London a few months ago. they were badged Supro, and were single cone. Pretty good, and priced at about £500.

Nick .. guyatone seems to have stitched up the European market for steels.

Guyatone two pickup model; Nice tone, but quiet . Bought at a junk shop for £60 -- it looked a state, but it cleaned up nicely and I sold it last week for £225 ... the price of steels is going up ...

I really wanted to go for that one on buy and sell ... just beaten to it. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif
