What kind of music are you after? Many early songbooks were written in high-bass A and are readily available for little money. Sebastian Muller has a number of great arrangements in A tuning (not sure ...

That thing looks factory to me. I see no evidence of a home built.

That thing looks factory to me. I see no evidence of a home built.

Less obvious perhaps is his skill as an engineer and video/audio recording master. His playing is first rate but he also knows how to capture and present it with perfection.
I have to agree with you ...

1957, the decal probably flaked off. Looks all original, including case.

I think most of us here already have all the steels we need, so bargain prices are the only thing that would entice us to buy, at least that's where I'm at. There are some fine guitars there though.

Vintage '30s steel guitar videos are rare as hens teeth, but I'll share a couple '30s guys I like a bunch.

Wow, great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Sweet guitar, I had one just like it, I traded mine for a Ric B6 and I think the values are still around the same, $1500.00 ish would be my estimate.

I like them, but never bought one when they were $400.00, not buying one now. For the price of that, less even, I got a Republic Tricone that kills.

They sound great too, my favorite Fender pickup

It's really just about what you're used to, slants on a 25" Dobro are no problem for me because that's what I mostly play, I'm also comfortable on my 22 1/2 steels, but it takes a second when I s ...

I've got a Magnatone G70 husk with case that I might let go.

Well, the guitar is a Magnatone or Dickerson and lots of us have or have had those, I have never seen the amp/ record player thing you're talking about and sure would like to if you could get it out f ...

Not real sure what you mean, but id say to get the best one you can afford. Ive been impressed with the newer Regals, I have a RD30 I bought off CL used for $200.00 as a beater and its really a darn g ...

Looks great, thanks

That's cool stuff, I forgot I wanted to check them out after reading about them, thanks for reminding me.

I see, I would still be inclined to keep that, I'm always looking and rarely see those. If you're just starting out, seven strings will be plenty to keep you busy, it may be perfect for you. You can a ...

That's a sweet guitar and a great price. Are you saying the pickups have seven pole pieces? Or that they don't pickup the outer strings well, which is a very common problem on 8 string Ric's and can b ...

It would help to know what model Oahu you have. I think the birch student models, basically Stella square necks are more robust than, say, a 66k. I run acoustic mediums down around C# on the 66k. I pu ...

I have a Silica Sound #114 that's brass filled glass and it's great, nice tone and easy to hold. Check out their site.

Very cool..

Really cool guitar, I love Magnatone amps and guitars. Another option for the tuner buttons is clear acrylic and paint them with translucent red. Congratulations on that beauty.

I'm watching this, he has fun with this song.
