Hello all. I just wanted to get some opinions on a pedal steel for sale in the local craigslist that I'm thinking about picking up. It a Sierra 12 string that was (quote from the ad) "completely ...

Good point, CrowBear. The whole finger picking thing is something I've wanted to explore for a while now with my electric guitar and live work, so I think getting used to them with the Stage 1 would b ...

Ken and Rex, thanks for the advice. I know that without the finger picks I won't get that brightness that I hear in so many recordings. The Stage One doesn't have a tone control like the Goldtone does ...

A little advice please. Here's where I'm at .... long time guitar player who has never worn finger picks before. I've been playing a Goldtone 8 string lap steel for about 3 months now without picks be ...

There is another Carter Starter here locally on craigslist today (unused according to the seller) for $600 but after the wise advice from everyone here on this forum, I do believe the best thing for m ...

Stu, unfortunately I'm in Northern CA. Too bad because I lived in So Cal forever. I guess my timing is off by a couple of years! I'll contact Jim and see what he has in stock.

And thanks for the a ...

The Stage One does look like a good way to go.

Someone locally is selling a Rustler twin necks Pedal steel 8 pedals 4 knee levers for $1,000. Any thoughts on this? Might be a bit more than I'm looking for, but it might be something worth pursuing ...

Hello all. The lap steel bug bit me about 3 months ago and I'm loving it, but I would also like to have a pedal steel. The thing is that this is more of a hobby/occasional steel guitar part in a track ...

This might be a good time for me to ask a question about tone bars in general. Being new to lap steels in general, I decided to go with the basic Dunlop 918 5.5 oz. I come from the 6 string guitar wor ...

Rodger, that sounds about right. G6 is where I have it now. It's frustrating because the 2 steel guitars arrived before I got a tone bar or a volume control. It feels a little bit like having a car p ...

I just ordered a few new sets of strings from the link given here on this post. In the meantime, I've pushed these up a step and now the lowest string is E. I'll play with that until I can get the new ...

G Strout, I guess my real question is with the gauge of strings that came with the guitar, what would be the correct A6 tuning? I see from your gauges that 8 string high has the low string tuned to A ...

First off, I just want to say how informative and amazing this forum is. Everyone here really seems to want to help out with info, tips and advice.

That being said, I'm a long time guitar player w ...
