Hi Folks,
This is the band I've been with for the last ~5 years. I played a 52 Fender Custom with C6/A7, A6, E7 tunings. I used delay, rotary, phase, trem, and overdrive at various times for differen ...

Wish i could get a roller and a pedal for the outside neck on my custom T8. Just for the Isaacs pull. I play standing up too, so... yeah. I wish I had machinist skills.

Good stuff George! I'll try this too!

Bad to the bone

Same happened to me. I ended up making full length legs using hardware store parts. There's an all-thread that works perfectly for the Duo and Custom. Chop off about 4 inches and slide it down into tu ...

Ohhh... stringmaster is a different matter. They have the typical under-string pickup. I know for certain Lollar has those for sale. Not sure about anyone else.

In this case I cannot be certain wh ...

I also learned to solder. Wasn't too hard, and now I'm good at it! I never did take it to any shop. Most of the time, shops are highly confused by the duo/custom itself, and intimidated by the age of ...

It turned out to be the pickup bobbin itself. The originals were some kind of paper board and over the years of weather, heat from lights, etc. they just kind of collapse. Some more than others. Some ...

Cool find!

If I were only concerned with one string, I would recreate the clothes hangar method. Maybe I still would if I could figure out a way to pull two strings and have a thumb screw for fine ...

Looks like James Farmer had one: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=216004&sid=fc3732cbd630cab8455eb8ca47b68459

I'm planning on doing this myself or finding someone that has specific experience with FenderDual Pros and/or Customs. Something much like what Erik and Mark have posted.

Good stuff, thank you guys!

I just bought 20 feet of George L black and a gang of straight and elbow connectors. Before I start putting things together I've been wondering about a generous slathering of dielectric grease where c ...

Guess who just got a Sho-Bud pedal for 20 bucks? For some reason they didn't think this worked so I got it for parts prices. Since this has a spring in it that makes it stay up, I think I'll try the J ...

I thought Junior had a newer Sho-Bud based guitsteel with pedals and all? The one in this video looks like ol' Yellow.

That switch is a really good idea. You wouldn't happen to have a diagram would you? I suppose the switch bypassed the capacitor?

I've been thinking about doing this same thing, to get the Fender boo wah sound on anything other instrument that doesnt have the tone knob close to the strings, or none at all (I never have heard an ...

Woo! And downtown too! I'll be there for sure.

Yup, I've noticed quite a few spots where one grip could be substituted for another. So many sounded the same to me, that I just put things together where they seemed easiest to play. I'll try out wha ...

Here goes. This is my first time actually tabbing, so I'm pretty sure I have the bars wrong, etc. this is just for placement, and so i personally don't forget!

I retune Kayton's C6/A7 to A6, which ...

A6 it seems. Key of D... I think? I'll try tabbing out the lil' beginning bit I have figured out.

Does anyone have any idea where to begin with this? It seems like A6 or C6, but I'm not sure of what key. Any help especially with the ripply parts appreciated!

Oh man that's fantastic, thanks for the link! That tape looks like some shade-tree I would think up Wink

By the way... does anyone know what the thing is on Kayton's volume knob? Looks like some kind of cable the feeds back into the guitar. You can see it real good [url=http://youtu.be/7K3Z8NTwZp8]here
