Anyone have non-pedal tab for this one? Loved this song since I was a kid and now I'm 70. About time I learned to play it!

Ted and all,

After several intervening projects, I finally finished restoring the Melobro prototype. I epoxied a square aluminum bar into the neck slot, extending it into the body where it rests on ...

I just won a Melobro body and neck on Ebay. It's on it's way. Seller claims it was a prototype. Hoping Ted can identify it. Will have to figure out how the neck attachment worked on these.

Nice job!! I didn't know the Dynalap kits were still available.

Really nice playing! What tuning are you in?

Who sells lap steel fretboards (plastic/lucite)? I feel another build coming on!

Does anyone have any suggestions on amp & guitar settings to get that lush old 1940's-50's Hawaiian sound. I've got a Bronson Melody King (aka Rick BD-6) with horsehoe pickup, and a recent Trayno ...
