Not a steeler, but blues lovers may be interested to know that Buddy Clark - bass man for James Harman for many years passed away yesterday from brain cancer.

I agree. It was a good price.

I'm a bit regretful that I didn't bid.

I have seen pics of other consoles including a double neck made of figured maple & a single neck in black, kind of art de ...

Joel Paterson is in Chicago.
He may have time to take a look.

Hi All -

Was watching this on ebay.

I ended up not bidding but was somewhat interested.

I have seen a couple of Vega console type steels listed on various sites.

Does anyone have experienc ...

Thanks Everybody.

Very interesting stuff.

Hi All -

Noticed this basic looking lap steel sold for quite a high figure on ebay.

Why is it so desirable?

Interesting set up, for sure. Thanks for post in the pic.
Carl.

Sounds interesting. I'd love to see some photos of the knee lever setup.
Carl Leyland.

Joel Paterson's cd 'Steel Is Real' features some tunes on a CC steel.
I think he has a myspace page with sound samples. Also CD Baby might have them.

Great to hear from you Steve. Can't wait to hear what you bought.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Yes John - I agree.
In any case, that steel must be incredibly rare. Congratulations!
I hope you'll post some pics when it's finished.

OK. I see.
One thing though - it's my understanding that the pickups that followed the Charlie Christians i.e. the oval shape ones are not P90s. They don't have adjustable pole pieces & they don' ...

Hmm, I wondered what that lever was. Is it spring loaded?

I'm no expert but I saw in the Gibson steel guitar book that the original Fuller prototype design drawing looks a lot like what you have there i.e. two necks with no middle piece between. Apparently t ...

Yes - I'm told they weren't very sturdy.

Many thanks.

Thanks!
I started with a 6 string lap steel a few months back. I'm having a lot of fun learning something new.

Hi Mark -

No, it's not the one that Joel sold. I narrowly missed that one, which is ironic since I play (piano) with him sometimes.

This one was on Craigslist in Gulfport, MS. Luckily I had a fr ...

Eugene -

That's a cool guitar. Must have been a special order, I imagine. Are you the owner?

I'm considering the idea of having someone make a replica of the mute mechanism for me.

I guess pe ...

Hi & many thanks for your input.

That is a beautiful steel you have there.

The volume on mine is stiff for sure, but usable.

The external pedal is a good idea - I have one of those new Fe ...

Hi All -

I have just acquired this 1938 Console grande.

The tone(?) pot is frozen. In order to see if it is savable I'm thinking I'll need to take it off the guitar & flood it with DeOxit or ...

Hi -

I don't know of any for sale but a friend of mine just bought a 4 neck Fender Stringmaster (24 inch scale). One of the necks has wider slots in the nut & apparently that was because it was ...
