I don't think it would hurt anything to leave two strings off of a S12 and convert it to a standard C6 copedent.

You could also look into a 12 string C6 copedent.

Or get a Universal that " ...

Once you understand the basics of how the D13th tuning relates to the 10 string e9 and c6 tunings, it is pretty easy to adapt all those teaching materials. With a d13th setup it is also much easier to ...

So with any setup there's going to be limitations when it comes to what chord voicings are available. But here are some ideas I've found helpful as I arrange music for steel guitar that wasn't written ...

Hi Jared

Thank you for your interest in my steel guitar.

I'm very sorry, but the price has not yet been determined.
I understand that everyone is particularly concerned about the price of steel ...

I will be so excited for you to take all of my money someday.

Any chance you're able to share the pricepoints, or not quite yet?

What sort of changer does it have? D13th is easiest with a 3 up and 3 down changer.

If it has a capable changer, then getting a s12 for under 2k and then having it tuned up and converted seems to b ...

I tried out the Cowboy Eddie Long copedent briefly, but ended up switching to a D13th copedent.

The CEL copedent has some clever ideas that work well, but I wanted the full complement of standard ...

Let us know how it turns out! It'd be cool to see more detailed pictures.

Welcome!

I pastor a church and occasionally play guitar or steel as part of service.

The E9 tuning really clicked for me when I started arranging for steel out of the hymnal. I'd recommend the ...

On my D13th setup I can use the 5th and 6th (B and A) strings with various changes to move smoothly from a unison to a minor 2nd, major 2nd, or minor 3rd.

There's a bunch of good and useful licks ...

Jim Palenscar worked on a push-pull BMI for me recently, completely re-rodding it. He mentioned seeking out some advise from the owner of BMI along the way. So there's at least a couple guys out there ...

Jim at Steel Guitars of North County recently converted my old BMI push-pull into a 7x5 D13th copedent.

I had been playing a e9/b6 universal setup for a little while, but as I started studying the ...

I have a beautiful S12 B6/E9 universal 7+8 which will keep me busy for as long as I have.

Do you have a picture that shows how all those knee levers are arranged? Are there E9 ones and then a separ ...

Here's my BMI push/pull U12, setup with a 7x5 Eddie Long Copedent.

I believe at least a couple other forum members have owned this guitar in the past. You'll be glad to know that it's in good shap ...

I'd imagine it would mostly depend on how much it was worth to someone to skip the wait for a new one.

Great work! Learning a lot from this.

One question: on the "der" of wi-der, should the a pedal be engaged along with the f lever? That sounds better to me, but I'm not especially familia ...

PNW Folks,

Hello! I'm new to the area and fairly new to pedal steel.

I'm interested to connect with other steel players in Oregon. I'd moved to Albany in April.

Who should I know? Who is ac ...

IMHO, the Justice S10 is the best bang for the buck out there. It is not far off in quality from their top of the line guitars. It can pretty much be set up to your liking. A true pro guitar at a barg ...
