He did respond to my email a while back and said to check back in late April or May.

thanks all, I have been using the keyboard seat route as well. The product Steel Seat Co used to make looks a little more efficient but he's now retired so that is not an option.

I never could get a B-3 sound I was happy with out of the B9, I think the average steel guitar pickup is wound too hot for it, but I've kept the Lester G and like using it.

The particular guitar which I have the opportunity to take up is an early 70s Sho-Bud LDG.

Looks great Cody, I'm just glad I don't have to lift it.
