Thanks foe the responses to this. I ended up getting an Excel from Steve Sanford, so I'm all set!

I realize this topic has come up a few times over the years and the responses usually vary from "no problem" to "get a flight case and check it," but I thought I'd see if anyone ha ...

Update: I took Steve Sanford's advice and blasted the changer with compressed air, then did another round of injecting lube in between the fingers as best I could. And it helped with the binding a lot ...

How much does it weigh?
Thanks

Looking for something under 25 lbs and 3/4 setup is fine for a flying guitar. And I'm open to an aluminum body guitar as well - Excel, ETS, etc.
Thanks!

I did some more troubleshooting with an instrument builder friend today. He doesn't have much experience with pedal steel but his mechanical mind is much better than mine(!) and it seems that somethin ...

I wonder if there is simply something I'm missing about the pull-release design - and the potential quirks regarding strings with raises and lowers (like the E.)

There is a curve there. Having never seen another SGI in person I can only assume it's by design.

Strings were changed a couple months ago, and this issue has been happening for longer than that.

I've finally had a little more time to analyze this, and following the steps suggested by Tucker:

What happens if you isolate the raises by removing the lowers (unscrew the tuners on 4 and 8 until ...

Thanks Tucker. It looks like I described the symptom wrong: the raises actually throw the E strings sharp, not the other way around. I loosened all the raises on strings 4 and 8, and the strings retu ...

Hi. I'm hoping someone familiar with this design can weigh in. I have an old Fuzzy/SGI and the E lever throws both E strings flat. The tuning resets if I use a raise (either the F lever or C pedal.) T ...

Thanks for the responses! The trip I leave for tomorrow is domestic - I will definitely use a flight case and check the steel when flying international. Good to know (and somewhat surprised) that the ...

Is that 27 lbs out of the case?

Hello. Wondering if anyone here has experience using the Ethos Clean II pedal as a preamp for PSG. I find I have a similar issue with it as I do the Sansamp Blonde, which is that it's hard to get a lo ...

Thanks Lane. The Zoom audio interface I use for the ipad has 2 input channels. My fx signal path is stereo so I typically play though the pedals and go into the ipad where I can mix the steel signal w ...

The stereo version is one of the most useful pedals I have, because of the aforementioned ability to switch it to any of the other Neunaber stereo fx. I also use the EXP controller which allows you to ...

I have read that Bias FX allows you to set up a dual signal path so that you can play through two signal chains and amp models, but does anyone know if the Bias FX app will accept a stereo input? Or d ...

I sent you an email, Jim! I still enjoy that Williams/Palenscar hybrid I bought from you a few years ago. But it's really good to know more builders are answering the need for lightweight/compact ins ...

Thanks!
