Hi all - just an update - this has been sold and shipped but I'm still awaiting word from the buyer to confirm everything arrived as expected. Thanks.

Hi all - sale is pending. When things settle I will post a note here confirming (and will send bOb a donation for the site!) Thank you all for your interest.

This uses the Emmons setup.

Sadly today I accepted the fact that I'm not going to make, take or find the time needed to learn how to play the Stage One pedal steel that's been sitting idle in my room for the past 3+ years, and i ...

1. What gauge are you using on the 3rd string?
2. What brand guitar

Thanks all.

Got the new string, watched the how-to video and got it tuned up nicely.

Opinions on Fishman Loudbox Mini?

Techniques and Alpha, thanks. I got sidetracked by the Up from the Top section and hadn't even seen those. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.
