I have schematic (simple as it is) if that will help you.

This post is hopelessly Hung Up !!!!!
I would think think the Guit-Steel is the novelty, not Junior's playing(outstanding).

Always loved the sound, but aren't seen much around here. What finally made me search out and buy was hearing Junior Brown.

This post made me check both of my deluxes. The '58 pickups and blender are configured as I described above. I prefer the #2 (or neck) p/u alone - a little further from the bridge, it as nicer tone ...

The pot under the cover should turn less than 1 turn. The wheel is loose on the shaft if it turns more. Lift the wheel off the pot shaft and spread the split shaft a bit, then put the wheel back on. ...

Flat pick plus one finger pick. Most flexible, I'm not that complicated yet, steel is supplemental to my regular guitar.

Great, thanks very much, Scott (still of the Rafter Bats?), I will email when I expect to be there. Happy trails.

Anyone know when/if this will happen this year? Usually November?

Use a meter to continuity check all of your grounds. Check output jack, maybe change it. Use a new good quality patch cable to amp. Cable failure is most common.

A Fender Deluxe 8, but more interesting is my Old Kraftsman mahogany 6-string, finished like an old Firebird, c. 1940 (?), has AM radio scales under control knobs, nice sound.

A variation on Tim's, going lower:
D F# C E A C E G low to high.
This puts a 9th chord, root on string 8, in easy reach of the key you are playing, 2 frets down.

Bruce, on the gauges, the short scale should be able to support standard string gauges, note for note, if they are too slack, move up a whole note (or down an equivalent string guage), works for me.

The Sol Hoopii C#minor, very interesting:
Low to high:

B D E G# C# E

Nice for blues, slant bar to get a major 3-5-1 chord on strings 2,3,4, a little out of tune but neat sound using vibrato.

A vari ...

I noticed this sale also. Check the bid history and names for clues as to how this happened. This phenom is how prices jump and guitars become rarer in this country.

JB is the reason I got into steel, after years of thinking about it, finally had a Fender Deluxe 8 come my way. Not much steel here in CT, hard to find. Pedals or not, fantastic player.

Is it George himself, or someone else running the store now?
