Did he ever play steel on a recording?

Ah, that mysterious Fender steel. This instrument was a prototype single 12 ala the PS-210 and was, of course, designed and made by Gene Fields. I don't believe the Beach Boys bought this instrumen ...

Same size holes in the tuners as the other tuner pans. I'm glad you brought that up. It makes me think that the original owner probably wouldn't have swapped the nut and then go to the extent of acq ...

My 1960 Quad has a standard-groove nut on the outer neck, not the regular nut for the baritone tuning. Was this installed per request of the original purchaser or swapped out later on? We'll never k ...

I'd love to know more about the guitar: year and original owner?

One of my favorites is Mike Headrick's "West Coast Christmas". Mike is an exceptional player and master of many styles. This wonderful CD is done in Mooney style and is available from b0b i ...

Regarding those mute bars; their actual purpose is to cancel out extraneous string vibrations coming from the unplayed neck which feed into the pickup of the other neck. There are no neck selector swi ...

Ray, I see that b0b has this LP for sale through the Forum store and he also has it up on Amazon.

Alan, what I was asking was if you knew anyone with an original first-series Electraharp (prewar circa 1941). It isn't fair to say that a Multi-Kord is a better guitar than one of those unless you ca ...

I can see where an original owner of a Bigsby might not want his name inlaid onto the front with the thought that if he ever needed to sell the guitar in the future, it would be easier without the pe ...

I don't know if you're saying that the Multi was a better guitar than the postwar Electraharps or better than all of them which would include the prewar ones. Who really knows if the prewar Electraha ...

What I've often wondered about is why some guitars have inlaid names while others are painted on. Did P.A. give the buyer a choice assuming that the inlay work cost a bit more?

I don't think there was a dry eye in the house when Herby Wallace returned to the Norwalk show after recovering from his stroke. He played beautifully and many of us were deeply touched by the man's ...

Marian Hall used this 1954 Standel 25L15 for several years. Other West Coast Standel 25L15 owners were Speedy (had one of the first few made), Dick Stubbs, Ernie Ball and Les "Carrot Top" An ...

A good point has been brought up here. The first Stringmasters (1953 and 54) had tuner pans based on a flawed design used on the earlier Dual Pro and Custom series guitars. The pans themselves weren ...

What an impressive chronicle of the sexiest lumber on Earth.

Had one once; inside had been stuffed with newspaper. I have no idea why.

I think Erv means to say "polarizing" filter and yes, it'll do the trick. Good suggestion!

I guess somebody has to say it....I found this music to be quite interesting and enjoyable! It's as if Esquivel, Enoch Light, Martin Denny and Webley Edwards got together for a drunken luau.
