Thanks, Paul. Very interesting discussions.
I couldn’t get a response from the search function; probably operator error…

Anybody? I’m also interested in opinions on these guitars. Sure looks like an affordable way to get started.
Thanks

Thanks for posting that; can’t wait to learn it.
Bickert is one of my all time favourite guitarists. He is totally unique in his style and execution; instantly recognizable. Can’t say that about ...

Wow, that sounds great! Excellent playing, too. Congratulations on getting such a wonderful instrument.

That came out beautifully! Your patience and careful work paid off in spades. I’ll bet it sounds good, too. Congratulations on a job well done!

That was great! Very tasty steel playing with a swinging band. Gold medal performance!

Ben, if you want to contact Bill Flores, PM me, I have his contact info.

The original Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airman are what got me interested in country music; they made it OK for hippies to dig those sounds by linking C&W to Rockabilly and R&B. I got ...

You are a mad scientist! That’s quite a project. I’ll bet it sounds great. Thanks for taking the time to document the process; very interesting. Thanks!

That guitar went to the right owner. That’s going to be one sweet steel when you finish with it. Kudos to you for taking the time to fix it right.
Looking forward to your updates.

Gentlemen, thanks for your detailed, thoughtful replies. You have pretty much convinced me that I need to jump in.
Chris, thanks for the tip about North County Steels; I didn’t know about them; ...

Gil and Mark, thanks for your replies. You’re excellent enablers! I think if I don’t do it, it be sorry later.

I’m a new member here, but I’ve long been a PS fan. I am thinking about taking the plunge and getting a PS. I’m a decent simi-pro guitarist, so I have some understanding of music and theory. I� ...

Wow! What a treat to meet Bobby. I’ll bet he does that Frypan justice. Nothing like hearing Hawaiian steel in Hawaii. Makes you feel like all is right in the world. I grew up on Oahu, but haven’t ...

That sounded really good, playing and tone both. You are in a very cool band!

I’ve never had the pleasure of playing a BD8, but I have read on this site that the string spacing is pretty tight. Apparently the 6 and 7 string BD’s are the same spacing, and the 8’s are diffe ...

Thanks for an excellent lesson. Very clear, to the point explanations, and a useful roadmap for further exploration.
Forgive me for being greedy, but more please!

Beautiful playing. I can feel the trade winds. More, please!

Wow! Thanks, Mark, that’s awesome. I appreciate you posting that ad.
Noah, you’re right, It was built by Kay.
I came to the right place. Thanks for the input, guys.

Jack, I think you’re on the right track. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. It might be homemade, or home altered, as I’ve seen other steels the same shape branded Kay., but with different PU and knobs.
The horseshoe PU is very nicely installed, an ...

Hi everyone,
I’m a long time guitarist as well as a long time dabbler at lap steel. I recently resurrected this old lap steel I’ve been meaning to get working for years. Some previous owner had ...

I was fortunate enough to see the Campbell Brothers a few years ago, (well, maybe more than a few), and they blew the roof off the place. A top 5 musical experience for me; totally inspiring.
