The 0.011 strings don't bother me much. It's the 0.016 and 0.017 gages that tear up my fingers.

I also use the A6 set (0.015 - 0.050) on my Stringmaster for E13, it's close enough for me.

Yes, had to do the same with mine.

I bought a Moyo pedal as a backup for my old Sho-Bud pedal. After a few years, I bought a second Moyo pedal, and sold the Sho-Bud. I use it for pedal steel, lap steel, guitar.....

If possible, make a trip to a dedicated steel guitar store that has a variety of guitars that you can see, touch, hear, play. Yeah, it'll cost like tuition for a specialized seminar, but worth it IMHO ...

I'm thinking that the neck selector switch is the same three-way blade switch that is found in a Telecaster or Stratocaster. Which should be easy to repair or replace.

Another interesting modulation in the middle of the last chorus, a step-and-a-half, that caught my ear from the first time I heard it.....

This Jimmy Webb tune has a modulation before the last verse, a step-and-a-half, that is pretty dramatic....

I have always figured that modulations were most practically useful when moving from a verse backed by strings (in one of the cowboy keys) to a verse or a bridge where the songs needs a kick in the a* ...

I've had a Parsons-White unit in a red tele body since 1991. Have other bender guitars as well, and used a hipshot prior to 1991. It's a good musical tool, especially when you know when to NOT use it. ...

I have "split" the speaker wires on several amplifiers, re-connecting them with male and female 1/4" jacks. So that I can use the amplifier head only with another speaker, or use the sp ...

I would look at Stewart-McDonald website, and pick out a set of classical / slot-head tuners as a full replacement.

I played S-10 guitars for years -- Dekley, Emmons, Sho-Bud -- and thought they were comfortable enough. More recently playing a GFI SD-10 with the half-size pad. I do enjoy the extra wrist support and ...

The console guitars from Valco / Supro / National / English Electronics are not bad choices. Usually a thicker sound and shorter scales. All built in the same factory in Chicago, mostly in the 50's. G ...

I keep mine in D or lo-bass G tuning, using med gage guitar strings (0.013 to 0.056). I tried briefly to tune up to hi-bass G with same strings, and there was considerable top-bellying at the bridge. ...

Now I see the missing screw. It's not one of the magnetic pole pieces. I didn't catch that earlier.

I used to have one just ike her. Good sounding steel made by the Valco/ Supro/ Dobro factory in Chicago. As I recall, I used 0.016" and larger, nickel plated set intended for resonator guitar. Tu ...

In one word: weight!

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 ...
