I'm a long time open D player. I've been looking at learning C6 tuning, but wondered if I should drop down a whole step and learn D6 instead? I'm thinking root position would transfer from open D to D ...

Thanks everyone. I'm not concerned about keeping it original, playability is my goal. I'll save the original part,though I doubt anyone will be able to find them when I'm dead an gone:-).

I can't find any replacement tuners to fit a Guyatone 6 string lap steel passed down to me from my late grandfather. I've love the look and tone of it (I've replaced pickups), but the dang thing will ...

I heated paraffin was up to 160/170f and soaked the pickups for 30 minutes. I refererd to youtube as well were several individuals gave a step by step. I didn't do a DB test or anything, so maybe it d ...

Thanks Alan, this is good news. My Guyatone looks just like yours. Do you recall which model pickup fit? I'm searching Seymour Duncan website for Antiquity, but I'm not seeing one that will fit based ...

I have a Guyatone 6 string lap steel that I inherited from my late Grandpa. I play blues and found that it squealed like a pig at a gig this past weekend when I switched to my dirty channel. After som ...

I have 3 or 4 scratched bars and I wondered whats the best way, if any, to buff the scratches out? The scratches aren't THAT deep, but enough to create the grinding tone on the wound strings. One of t ...

Thanks for the idea Mark.. I may go that route, but I sure wish I could keep the chrome. Heck, you just make me think, I could use the chrome cover thats on the back of my blue one and use the pick ga ...

Thanks for the reply.. I've NEVER worked with metal, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to "pretty it up". I've got a dremel tool, I just don't see how I'd be able smooth the edge I cut, and k ...

I got another Rondo a few weeks ago and it has the 'all in one' cover/control plate (its the natural one in the picture below). The volume and tone knob mounts the the same cover that goes over the sa ...

I had the luxury of stopping by my local pub, Mvoreens in Cartersville, GA one friday night and heard this soulful lady 'lola' play. Steve was filling in and I was freaking blown away by his guitar sk ...

Thanks Tom.. I don't know much about pickups, so every bit helps. I emailed Bryan and hope to get a reply soon, since I'm ready to order it!

I've got a seymour duncan P-90 in my first rondo lap steel. its the standard P-90 that duncan makes. I just got another rondo lap steel and I'm getting ready to put another pickup in it. I LOVE the S ...

Very nice job. I'd like to do that to mine. Can you tell a big difference in tone with the strings thru the body? I know there it resonates more thru the body, but can you actually tell it when plugge ...

Are these latest ones available with the PU/tail cover seperate from the V/T knobs or with the controls cover as part of the large PU cover?

Mine came withe one large cover, volume knobs attached, ...

I just ordered my 2nd one! Now I'm off to find some new tuners and another pickup. I think I'm going to modify this new one for dual pickups!

Not sure if this is the right forum for this discussion or not.

Think I'll get the off white one next. Too bad they can't keep up with the demand. I been checking rondomusic every day for a few weeks not hoping they get more in stock, but not so lucky.

Yeah, when they get more in I'll buy one.. I'd be happy with most any color other than black. I've never been a fan of black guitars for some reason.
I'm not so sure about a fiesta red one Richard. ...
