Hi Dan. I'll be following your progress!

I used the California Purple Polish on the changer fingers (and maybe the changer axle). For everything else I just cleaned 'em good. Started cleaning with ...

Henry, I agree 100% that dealing with the dogbones is a PITA. Bud Carter wrote something about their "advantages," getting another degree of adjustment by installing the rod above vs. below ...

Love it, Jim! Really has some style.

Roger, I hope the injection clear this up for you. I've had more of these than I care to recall, trigger fingers and thumbs, carpal tunnel left and right. The cortisone shots didn't work for me, and j ...

I've been using a Katana 100 for a few years. After some experimenting I settled on the Acoustic setting. But have been frustrated with the sound and responsiveness of my steel (2008 Carter SD-10 with ...

Thanks, Matt! I'm intrigued and will be listening to The Steel Guitar Podcast today.

Some interesting stuff there. November 30th episode with Jeff Snyder, November 1st episode with Steve Fishell.

Dave, hearfelt condolences to you and your family. Sounds like your father-in-law was an amazing man!

Thanks, Jack. I would love to do that.

I've had a StroboPlusHD for just two months, and using SE9/SP9. Jack, thanks for the "A+B down together" tip!

Hi David. I like using soft cases, and separating the legs/pedal-bar from the body (a.k.a poor man's "split cases"). It's an inexpensive solution, and offers significant weight savings compa ...

Just... WOW!

Hi Allen,

I'll take the StroboPlusHD tuner. Sending you a PM with contact info to exchange details.

That's outstanding, Doug. . . Put a bow on it! Thanks for sharing sharing so much music over the years.

What sad news! b0b's creation and care of the Steel Guitar Forum gave us all so much. Our growth as a "community" owes a great deal to b0b. RIP Bobby Lee.

Oh no! Sad to see this. I met Stu at the Denver steel show a few (three?) years ago. He was a kind, generous soul. I'll miss you, Stu.

I experienced the same issue with my Carter guitar. The rubber tips deform, compress, and get worn over time. They don't provide a secure, hard-stop for the pedal-bar.
