Bob at GFI and a few other well known players that use GFI keyless models have responded to some emails I sent over the weekend.

Is the hysteresis with your instrument a problem that needs to be fixed or a common problem among these models.

I don't recall seeing any problem posts about the keyless. I have made one, and have found no reason to retract itâ€¦

GFI company has a top notch reputation for taking care of GFI customers even if you buy one of there steels used.

Hello Forum Wizards,
Found a guy selling this along with a Peavey Nashville 112, Case/Seat and other accessories for $2500.

Very cool guitar with awesome tone no doubt

I play a lot in the later hours with no amp and don't mind at all, this thing really sings.
Just put an E13 on the second neck and it's sounding good. ...

Just got my pick up back from TomBrantleyRewinds.com yesterday. Wired and Tuned up my 2nd Neck and figured I'd clean her up for some glamour shots in the sunlight.

From my research/guesses - I t ...

I may be mistaken but it sounds to me like he's playing an E tuning here. Probably straight E major as in Steel Guitar Rag, possibly E7th. Those low notes don't go below the open E string in pitch.

I've enjoyed it and learned a few things, but I hear where Michael Butler is coming from.
They mentioned Charlie Poole but that was it.
Then in it's chapter going into Story Telling Songs - not a ...

Very interesting thread here.
Not too sure where to go right now with my own set up but I've got a single 15" cab on a modified '65 dual showman I might try after reading this.

Wow, Great stuff Mr. Blair.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Landon

Nothing too spectacular but I was psyched to get this for a pretty good deal.
::Under Construction:: as you can see.

Great stuff Sir, see what else I can dig up.
Thanks

Thanks - I see his E13 is same as McAuliffe's.
I guess it is a bit unusual using just the thumb now that I've seen some others play.

Ahhh, I had seen that name in posts here but didn't realize he was in the Playboys. I think you're right- Thanks

I've read that Noel Boggs played with Jimmy Wakely but wouldn't think it would be him that late in the 40's.

and Yes - I heard it the first time in Clay Pigeons.

Here's a nice E13 solo by Gene Crownover at about 1:00 (there's a really nice Reece Anderson solo later in the tune): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxz6J3fmGYM

Thanks for this one Mike!- and than ...
