Following up on some previous posts: I got a third bender for my Duesenberg - using on PS E9 string #3 (string 1 on the 6-sting)- to take the G# to A.

Man, I cant get anything that wont break - ...

So, with everyone's advice, I found a new Beard Copper Mountain on sale and bought it. Yipee - so glad I did!

One thing - it came with strings sized to play open E (and tuned to it, roughly). Any ...

I just got a Pomona a couple of months ago and its wonderful. Will definitely take some time to get used to the benders, but I see improvement on a daily basis. One thing - I want to add a third ben ...

Ok, so I went ahead and strung the Duesenberg as E9, using strings 3 through 8. Right now Ive got a half step bender on 6 (normal G# to A) and a full step on 5 (B to C#). So far , so good - Im going ...

Beautiful instruments, but I was thinking Id shoot for something at a lower price point....

Im thinking of buying an acoustic/ electric square neck dobro. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have experience with setting up a Duesenberg as E9? Im seriously thinking of trying it. Probably would try to run 3 benders instead of the stock 2... any advice would be greatly apprecia ...

Ok.

Ill try it both ways and see. Ive just started doing a lot of 6th chords and Im really enjoying the effect of the knee lever on that lonely low E
Also, Ive been looking at real grownup guita ...

Many thanks everyone. I think Iâ€™m going to try taking my 2nd string up to E so I can use it as if it were a lever actuated 4th string, which I think is what Harry is suggesting below, re Llo ...

Hi,
Im a beginner/ intermediate. I've had my (70's?) MSA Sidekick for some time now, and have been concentrating on major chords/ riffs. My one knee lever was completely disconnected from the rods, ...
