Hello everyone!

I'd like to try something new outside of the C6/A6/E13 realm so I started thinking of steel players with a unique style and sound that I dig. Nels Cline of Wilco/Nels cline Singers ...

Thanks everybody!

Any thoughts on a Sho-Bud Pro II Custom?

Chandler has a very nice blonde tolex lap steel case made by G & G. I have one and it fits the chandler perfectly and my mastertone very nicely as well.

wow thanks for all the great advice! This forum has been such an amazing resource for a young steeler like myself! Best $5 I've ever spent!

Just sent a PM.

Thanks!

That is a fabulous guitar! Bet it sounds awesome! Is he using an old bakelite bar or a tribotone maybe even jade?

HELLO! I've been passionately playing non-pedal steel for about 3 years now and I'm starting to look into getting my first PSG. However, when it comes to PSG I have no clue what I'm doing.

I'm 6'3" and I haven't had a problem with standing up to a keyboard stand.

The outside neck on mine is definitely a lot fuller sounding. Mine has the older (I think they're older...right?) rectangular boxcars, but I think it has to do with the thickness of the wood.

I agree... It just isn't meant to be. Wonder where you would put the controls anyway...

Anyone got any pictures? I'm curious.

Wow these look awesome! Especially that pink one! I like the little bar cavity (I'm thats what it is) on them too!

Awesome solos on guitar and steel!

I don't think its a lap dawg though that was my first guess. Although the logo definitely rubs off easy and they are chrome plated. But they don't round off quite as gradually at the top like this one ...

Thanks Denny! Those are fantastic pictures! I wish bands still wore matching suits!

I was just reading a book that had quite a few pictures of young garage bands from the late 50's and 60's and I got to thinking... there must be a few members here who have some cool old photos of the ...

Wow, the thought of changing things up to fit the situation never crossed my mind! Ray, thank you so much for all this info on JB. I really look up to him (who wouldn't, he's a legend!). Your Jerry By ...

Hey Ray!

Thanks so much for the info! You wouldn't happen to know what tuning Lost Highway is in would you? And did JB use C6 or A6 on I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry?

Thanks!

Hey Ron, thanks for the info! It really is a fantastic song!

...unfortunately only in Japan, it seems....

Fear not, I started when I was 17. I'm 19 now.

-Chase

I was just wondering... Did Jerry Byrd play on Hank Sr's Lost Highway?

Can't believe I never heard the song before today!

Cheers,
Chase

I'm a tube fan myself. I think they are a lot warmer and sonicly pleasing.

You can buy an instructional program on ebay. I don't know if its any good, but it says it covers consoles.
