I've found a guitar I like, but the dealer doesn't have a proper case for it. Can anyone direct me to either an old Fender case or a good after-market replacement?

Is anyone making a replacement bridge cover ("ashtray") for the Fender Deluxe 6 lapsteel?

This is a mid-to-late 60's Deluxe 8 Stringmaster in excellent condition.
I've owned four or five of these and this is by far the cleanest one that's come through here. It is cosmetically almost perfe ...

Thanks!

Spencer Bohren is an old friend of mine from Denver and a pretty inspiring musician. He told me that he uses lap steel "like a ouija board".

That's almost weird enough to come out of the brain of Larry Pogreba. The last time I visited him in Montana there was an aluminum bodied, two-resonator cello up in his workshop.

I could really use some inspiration and I'm not finding it any of my instructional dvd's.

Fender has used a lot of alder since the 50's; it's softer than Ash and looks very different.

I probably flatter myself by referring to Larry as my best friend, but we do go back about 40 years. If you read "Fretboard Journal", the current issue has a well-done feature article on thi ...
