Without wanting to sound a bit "me-too", I'd also look at vintage on ebay. I got the majority of my collection for under $150 on ebay, and all of them are killer (mostly valco non-branded, o ...

Gents,

If you've replaced the pickups in your 'paul, 335, or SG for something a little more special, I'm interested in your set. Why? I have a 1979 ES-335 Pro that has some of the hottest pickups k ...

I have a similar one to the e-pay item, and it sounds quite good (nothing on a Supro, however...)

At $175, not too bad...

Hey Ben - thanks for the post. This one came in at (I think) something like $380 shipped...to Australia, and has been a joy ever since. It went from a "toe in the water" to a "keeper&qu ...

At its current price it's a bargain...

....for an Ernie Ball volume pedal Laughing

I humbly accept the office Very Happy

It's a great little guitar this one - It's embarrassed many a guitar owner with weissenbergs and Koneys (what I call the clones out there). I'm not sure if this one ...

Ahhh...Tighe! I now "totally" get it (for other, what might be an "in joke", not a reversion to teenagerhood)

It seems a bit funny to me now - are we all talking about one guita ...

I know I shouldn't be surprised that it is identical, but: Wow, Tighe! It's identical to mine. Looks like we're the Pifer Special Brothers, huh? Is yours the one that Wyn is talking about? I bought m ...

That's my Pifer (possibly literally - it's identical). Camera at work, so no photo today Crying or Very sad

Hey Brad,

I'll get some - having had kalamazoos and mastertones previously, there's no doubt to me this is gibson made - something I probably didn't make clear in the post.Tonally, it has a nice d ...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else has come across a "Pifer" before? I have one that I've had for a year or so, and just adore it. All mahogany construction, square neck, silk-screened fr ...

Wow! I'm guessing the dog will love this pitches!!

Thank Marc - looking forward to getting home and getting tuned tonight

this is slightly confusing uponfurther reflection...the 4th string appears to be tuned to the high E of a guitar, the 3rd to Ab, 2nd Eb, the 1st to F# - are the 1st-3rd at higher pitches than the E?

Hey Bob,

after realising my mistake, I found the link to the PDF - makes perfect sense now. I'll try it out when I get home.

Thanks!

what a way to make an entrance into a forum...

Boy..is my face red! It is a sidekick!

Hey Charles,

Thanks for the nice welcome!

I'm guessing it's a maverick - it has a maverick badge on the front, an MSA badge on teh over side, and came in an MSA branded case. I'd guess it's from ...

Greeting all,

Having played non-pedal steel for quite a while, and having had some playing experience on a few other pedal steels (including one I got in a guitar trade that resembles the offsprin ...
