Hi Dom,
I just watched your video and it was wonderful. It was everything that I love about steel guitar. If I may ask, was that on the 10 string you built and what tuning did you use.
P.s. I ...

Hi Marino,
That's the description for them. I'll be ordering them in a couple of weeks; I'll post on this thread when it's completed.

Thanks for the info, Paul. Kluson didn't have an exact match. I spoke with a friend here in Fresno, who is a National expert. He mentioned the Gotohs as well. The footprint is the same; in fact every ...

I sent Kluson an email referencing the part number stamped on the inside. The ones I'm taking off are actually Klusons. Hopefully they are able to cross reference and suggest a replacement.

Thanks, Frank. I'll start researching Klusons.

I was just wondering if anyone has replaced an original National D8 style tuning machine with anything modern. I was looking at the Grover 18:1 Sta Tite. Almost everything is the dimensions except t ...

Noah,
Can you tell me more about the first photo in your post? That black one, is it a National?
Thanks,

Bill, I'll ask about the players that you mentioned. I've only lived in the area for about 8 years, and am not entirely up on all the history.

Dewain, I've written down your contact info and w ...

I've recently purchased my first steel guitar. I'll post some photos later, but I believe (based on SGF posts) that it is an English Electronics (by National/Supro/Valco). It's a D8. I haven't meas ...

Jean,
Do you have a price for a double eight?

Hi George,
Will there ever be a dual 8 console kit?
thanks,
John

And if memory serves correct..., One of the early Deke's Guitar Geek DVD's has Jeremy and TK Smith doing a set of Speedy and Jimmy stuff.

Look up The Lucky Stars on the internet for more Jeremy Wakefield.

I test multiple times per day. Each time I use a different finger, and a different side of the finger. I've never had a problem playing a fetted instrument, but when I first started playing electric ...

Hi Ray,

Hi Paul,

Does he still do a weekly appearance at Trout's ( I think that's the name of it) in Oildale?
