My hats off to anyone who can sing and play steel at the same time. Much less alternating between instruments.

Congratulations Dom! The folks in those situations are truly blessed to have you there.

Yep,a spring! I lost the photos you sent me, and drew this for Tony from my failing memory. I've since reverted my Pierce back to the original setup. Thanks for chiming in Mark, Tony probably realized ...

Hey Tony, I had the same question awhile back, and a fellow steeler sent me this idea, which worked great, for one string. Sorry for the crude diagram, but you can get the idea. I used a half of a sma ...

Thanks for posting the Austin City Limits link, Craig! I enjoyed that! Mooney at his best. That band was a class act.

Got it.

Hey Robert, I've got a mint gretsch New Yorker that I would let go of for $600 shipped. Has the "monkey on a stick" D'armond floating pickup. New set of Chromes just installed. Sounds great ...

Thank you Doug.

Up for sale is a 2015 6122-59 Gretsch country gentleman. An awesome guitar that is not getting played much,as I've shifted more to acoustics these days. In great shape,a small belt buckle scratch on b ...

I have seen the video of Junior's combo guitar/steel. Looks like it would be fun to play around with, but I don't know about gigging with it. But that Sho bud of Don Warden's has really grabbed me. I ...

Thanks Jerry, I had never seen that before. I forgot to include to photo I snapped from the TV.

Was watching The Porter Wagner Show this morning, and noticed this guy playing a Sho-Bud standing up! Pedals are under the changer side of the guitar. Someone please enlighten me on this cool setup.

Very entertaining Nate! I'll bet it sounded awesome live in that venue. Looked like you were running in stereo? Nice job with the E-bow, along with the whole presentation.

Nice recording Rick! Love me some Jimmy C.
Give the band a pat on the back.😉

WOW! He used every trick, technique, and move in the book on that one song! I've never seen him play live before. What an eye-opening revelation to go with the smoothness of his blues vibes. Thanks fo ...

For sale like new sidekick. $300 + $50 shipped. Would meet within 75 miles from Leesville La. To avoid shipping.

Hey Jon, check to see if those mic inputs have phantom power on in them.If so switch it off and try it. Could be a safety thing built in to the amp.

Hi Tony, there's a thread about these guitars a few posts close to this one right here. It sheds some light on these steels. You can indeed install 4 pedal on it. It seems that a few of these have mad ...

Ha, yeah David, this steel needs an anchor! It's sure nice to pack around though. I'm suprised that so many of these found their way across the pond. I'd be interested to know just how many were made. ...

Very nice Jonathan! I would surely like the tab please.

Hi Junior, glad your still playing! I was just today listening to you on a Marlon Sharp CD. Love it! Prayers up for ya.

Hi Dennis, I started in on steel at 62 yrs, playing regular guitars for 50. I thought, if has frets,how hard could this be? Well,wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. 4 years in and I'm humbled eve ...

Good luck with the parts Mick. Mark P.sent me some plans to fabricate a reverser mechamism, which I thought was very cool. I could email it to you if you would like. Yeah the pull rods attach to the c ...

Hi Mick, the tuning nuts are a 7/64's allen (hex) head,looks like standard machine threads. Dont know if this will help you over there.
