I have a number of lessons from the Gibson Mastertone System for Steel Guitar (1939/40) in E 7 tuning and would like to complete the set. Does anyone have any or know anything about these lessons? Any ...

I got a mahogany blank and finished it with clear lacquer. Lollar pups and it turned out great.

I had the same problem with my Double Neck too. I couldn't find a problem with the wiring either. I used electricians tape on the ends of the output jack and used copper shielding as best I could arou ...

Guitar is sold, will send donation via paypal.

A deal is pending, but I still have the guitar.

This one is a rosewood laminate, bought it new from Al Brisco in 2006 and it hasn't left the house since. Played very little before my bout with cancer and I'm not going to persue pedal steel. Staying ...

Are you buying or selling this Fender 400?

I'm interested if the sale doesn't go through. I'm in Canada and will pay FEDEX shipping, handling & duties. Pay Pal, Visa or US Money order. Nothing to it!

Don (BSG) made special leg sockets so I wouldn't have to do much fitting to my my Gibson Console Grande D2 (the factory legs were a problem). The legs were the right height and everything went well. I ...

One of my favourite tunes done very well!

I use Rick Alexanders suggestions on my T8 and with minor tweeking you can have many tunings. Since you come from a pedal background tuning changes should be fairly simple. I use Cobra Coils and/or Ja ...

I also have an ash model with the P 90 and am satisfied with the sound. I didn't like the bridge arrangement so I replaced the bridge with a Tele style string through body type and I find that much ea ...

Put a few drops of Crazy Glue in the slots, let it harden overnight and use nut files to cut the crazy glue to proper depth. I have done this a few times on several guitars.

Here is my treasure!

I think if you visit Rick Alexanders Chart on tunings, a lot of mystery will evaporate. With 3 tunings you have quick access to many popular tunings in use today. If you have an electronic tuner, chan ...

A straight down photo of the tuning keys would help. I say this because the tuners may be in backwards although the guitar does appear to be well made but it should be checked out. The next thing to f ...

I use Scotty's E 13th, A6 and E7 string sets on my Remington and Stringmaster D 8's and on the T 8. On the D 8's I use E13th and A 6 so I can tune to C6 high or low. The A6 can also be E7. I have foun ...

I found Rick Alexanders chart to be very helpful. Notice with an A6 as a base you can quickly make it many tunings. Only 2 or three strings to re tune if you want C6. Only 1 gauge of strings needed un ...

I don't know how the thing works when it's set up properly. I couln't get it to do anything. There was a lot of static and AC interference when plugged in. While tracking down the cause I disconnected ...

I recently aquired a 1956 T8 Stringmaster. The third neck has a Jack and a white push button on the tailpiece. This does not appear to be an aftermarket home improvement but factory installed. How doe ...

Great job Roy, a very nice tune done very well. Let us know if you tab it!

I have tried to contact Leon but his e-mail keeps coming back as "suspended". Anyone know how else to contact him?

Great sounding tune. I'm an oldies junkie. Have you thought of some old Webb Pierce tunes? I look forward to the CD.

Asking for any kind of directions takes me out of the Macho Man's Club, but this is important. I play a Remington D8 non pedal steel E 13th and A6 tunings mostly, through a Mesa Boogie DC 5 amp with a ...

One of my favourites for many years, great job. I had to use Andy's link suggestion to play the tune too.
