https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/8287_789063F3928140228B6B3E86E257A2CA_2.jpg I misspoke. Got a flashlight out and there is a minus mark in front of the number.

No minus sign…. Mine says 5/57 under the tuner pan written in pencil

Thanks. Not traditional I know, but a traditional Fender color that really rocks

I received this a couple of years ago.. it was trans white with a bad rattle can respray. It also had rough gouges, dremeled numbers, etc. all over it.

Very interesting! Love seeing new approaches to steel. I was wondering in the middle how you were going to bring it back and resolve it.. but you did it nicely. Good luck with the new album.

Pulling the fretboards off proved to be the most intricate part of the disassembly. I ended up having to use a really sharp chisel with my thumb as a fulcrum. The edge has to be right in front of th ...

What would be the advantage of this unit and an external speaker over a Steelaire?

Mike,

Thanks for the updates.. one report I got from Chuck Campbell after he played a gig with one through a Fender Twin was that at higher volumes it is kind of â€œmore of the sameâ€ just louder. ...

If I was asked to date an old Ricky.. I would be ok with that as long as it’s single.. Shocked

Greg.. Igreat link.. I watched that and a couple of “guitar” demo’s that sounded great. I have not heard a steel through one but would like to. I am selling one of my tube amps and think I am ...

Looks like a pretty well thought out product that improves on the 200.

Any reports? Seriously looking at this.. even if it costs me my tube snob status Very Happy

With the more traditional floor pedals, are you still connecting so the distortion is before volume? If not, then as you swell the pedal, doesn't the sound get more distorted rather than stay the s ...

I have the Wren and Cuff Caprid fuzz, which is very flexible, reacts to volume well and just sounds great for that distorted tone on the William with the Alumitone.. for just overdrive I have an olde ...

They are all coming out now.. let’s see those SM’s in color! Nice guitar Bill!

Jeff! You are an animal! That turned out really well, and certainly adds a bit of “wow” factor.. I am definitely going to consider the full list of period correct Fender colors..

Yeah, I wouldn't rechrome either. In fact, if it were mine, I wouldn't even refinish it. I'd buy a can of the ReRanch Fender Blonde nitrocellulose lacquer, remove the diamonds, tape off and cover th ...

All the information I can find tells me Fender actually sold D8â€™s with a myriad of colors including Fiesta Red, Sonic Blue, Sea Foam, etc in addition to the usual blond, black, walnut.

Wow.. at that point it looks like rechroming the metal and new fretboards are in order.. in for a penny, in for a pound.

Beautiful.

Thanks Erv, I was hoping you saw this..

Any idea on stock colors in the years 55-59 or so?

PS, did you pull the two necks apart?

Well, I just replaced my old Fender D8 that I let go in the past.. with this one from Jimmie H.

It has had some kind of refinish in the past, so I am not worried about doing another one/originality ...

I always try simichrome paste before breaking out the sand paper.. you never know and it doesn’t hurt anything..

Does anyone use, or have they tried, the finger picks? I use bare fingers now (I know, I know) but thinking these might work..
