Bashful Brother Oswald used hi-bass A tuning as well.

Don't some folks call that cajun tuning?

Got one. Love it.

That looks just like my Brand X cases!!

Merrell Jungle Mocs, the shoes I wear 90% of the time these days.

Quilter amplifier head, 200 watts, reverb, tremolo, and many other features. Padded bag with room for cords & etc. Impossibly lightweight. Your choice of 2-buttton or 6 buttons foot switch. Would ...

I've been using the Shubb RR-2 (Robert Randolph) bar a lot. It's like the old Stevens bar, but bigger and heavier. Works for Dobro, six and eight string lap steels, and I've used it for 10-string peda ...

The volume pedal is sold

The Blueridge neck profile is smaller and narrower versus a typical Martin or Gibson flattop. Maybe you like, maybe you don't?

The scale length is like a Martin OM or D-28. Slightly longer than a M ...

I own a Blueridge BR183, which is a tribute/clone of an OM-45 guitar from a well-known US company. My brother in law has a Blueridge BR-383, which is a the same size, mahogany body and simpler trim.

Steve Hinson's Brand X cases are the best lightweight road cases. I don't know if he has time to make them any more.

The guitar is sold, donation sent to SGF

My exerience has been the same. Wrist and palm levers allow you to do a few cool licks, but they're generally in the way. Interfere with right hand picking, especially when you're trying to hold them ...

1970's blonde Sho-Bud round front. 3 & 4. Brand X split cases. Curved knee levers, tractor pedals. Excellent sounding and playing 50 year old guitar.

Used a Jackery power source with Fishman Loudbox Mini, guitar and vocal mic, provided at local farmer's market. Three hour gig used maybe 40% of the charge.

I used PitchKey on several acoustic & electric guitars, mostly for drop-D. That worked okay.

Tried multiple units to go from standard to open D / Sevastopol tuning. That required some retuning ...

Older Sho-Bud guitars had the E/lower on the right knee left. If you learned that way, you might not want to switch after years of being used to it. My first guitar had E's on the left, and I'd find i ...

You should be able to dial up an array of steel guitar tones using channel 2, clean or dirty as your heart desires.

An old-fashioned Grover nut extender on any round-neck acoustic guitar is a $10 option. String spacing at the nut is a little closer than a typical square neck.I have an old Oahu parlor guitar with a ...

I have that tuning on my Stringmaster, and use the 8 string E13 sets that are sold on SGF for the JB tuning. That's 0.012" on top and 0.042" on the bottom.
