Hi friends,

I have a Carter Starter with no case.

Does anyone know where I can get a case or even a gig gag for it?

I'd prefer something light, small & cheap. In that order, if possib ...

Thanks Jamie.

Larry, just let me know how you'd like to get in touch.

Hi Larry,

Considering this is Jamieâ€™s original thread, I will give him the first chance to claim it. But if he decides he doesnâ€™t want it or has found another, I will definitely take ...

Don't know if that is totally on-topic but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the upkeep and more specifically the procedure to lubricate those recent ExStars.

Hey Jamie, FYI, I'm in the market for one as well (specifically a 15/16ths) and I reached out to Butch to ask when he might expect to restock them on his site. He told me he probably wouldn't have mor ...

Thanks Scott! That's actually exactly the slide I have. But mine doesn't have a hole to add weight to. I didn't see any such option available. Did you specifically ask for that?

Appreciate the input gents. I think I started developing this preference on my lap steel. For a while, I only had an old Stevens bar laying around that I didn't like. So I started using a larger bottl ...

Alright friends, I think I'm missing something. I'm a new steel player, but a longtime guitar and lap steel player. I don't really understand how almost everyone in PSG world seems to be comfortable w ...

Anybody have a Lehle Volume 90 they'd like to get rid of? I bought the standard one with top jacks before I started playing steel and now find myself wishing I had the side jack model for my steel.

Sold.

Same here Jerry. Ordered parts yesterday, and they just arrived 5 minutes ago. Crazy fast. I also ordered some 3mm delrin flat washers while I was at it. I'm going to see if I can further smooth the p ...

Once the end block and rod are removed, you can remove the pedals and slide the spacers out of the tube. Here is what the pedal bar looks like disassembled:

Mitsuo answered my question by explaining that there is a long, 3mm thick, stainless steel bar running through the pedal bar and held in place with stop blocks on each end. In my photos above, you can ...

I considered that option Scott, but figured it would be the slowest path to resolution. I was wrong. You were quite right. I asked him yesterday and he replied in less than 12 hours with a detailed ex ...

You bet. One other note on the bag: the bottom is only lightly padded, so I cut and placed a couple big squares of thick black foam under the changer and keyhead to relieve some pressure on those comp ...

Mike H. - Thanks! Bruce is correct. It's a light stand/tripod bag for photography equipment. My Carter didn't come with a case of any kind so I did a lot of searching for something that would fit the ...

Hello Friends,

The pedal bar of my 2015 Excel Superb U12 is in need of some maintenance. The majority of the pedals are squeaking, gritty, and in need of lubrication and the 8th pedal has gotten sl ...

Carter Starter in excellent condition. 3 pedals, 4 knee levers. Sounds great. Functions perfectly. Just cleaned, oiled, and restrung this week. Soft case included. $900 plus shipping.
