I agree with J D Sauser in the try before you buy. I’ve cycled thru a few guitars the past decade and traded away for different brands. A 80s S12 Zum was nice but not me, so was a s12 MSA milenium ( ...

Hi! I'd like to buy the Zirctone bar if still available. How shall I get money to you? I live in Calif. 92672 BTW. Thanks

Yes Hop Wilson is great too! There’s a CD I’ve had since the 90s which is a collection of his singles and some alternate takes of songs well worth having. Listen to the song Merry Xmas Baby, boy ...

I'd like to see the underside/guts and wiring of this behemoth pedal. What type of power supply does it need?

I'll chime in too. Perhaps marketing the lap steel as a "SpongeBob Guitar" could nab a few budding steelers. Yes we should be horrified at the suggestion but youngsters don't want to hear ab ...
