Well, I guess the G-Dec30 is now a big paper weight. I bought a Line 6 Spider IV 75. There is no buzz on this one. Smile

I don't think so Charlie. It happens with almost every preset. I restored the presets to factory default but the buzz continues. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi Gabriel, I have tried another guitar in the amp, as mentioned above, I bought a new cable and tried that, but I did not try a different outlet. I tried a small CUBE amp that I borrowed in the sam ...

Thanks David but the buzz is present when the cable is plugged into the guitar and when it is not plugged into the guitar.

Before I reset the amp to factory default I decided to try it again. When I said that the buzz was there even when nothing was plugged in, I had unplugged the cable from the guitar but the cable was ...

Thanks Jerry. I'll give that a try and let you know.

I don't know anything about amps and after I built a Lap Steel guitar I purchased a used Fender Dec-30 amp. After taking it home I didn't get a chance to try it until a week or so later. This amp ha ...

Thanks guys. I had seen a video clip of a guy making his own nut and when he filed the grooves in the nut for the strings the spacing between the strings was a bit narrower at the nut than the space ...

Should the spacing between the strings at the nut be exactly the same as at the bridge?

Thanks

Took your suggestion Jeff, Thanks.

Yes, I made the bars for the tuning keys and the pickup is a Musiclily 52mm Humbucker. The idea was that, if I could actually make one of these successfully, the ...

Thanks Brian but I don't have a tuning fork. I put on one string and tried it and the volume and tone controls are working. Very Happy

What part of Nova Scotia?

Thanks for the suggestion Jeff. I was going to use that to hold the strings and use the aluminum angle as the bridge because the rear strat bridge is lower than the pickup so the strings would lay dir ...

Thanks guys. Yes, it was a fun project. I have to notch the bridge and the nut, add the strings and hope like heck that the wiring is ok, otherwise its disassemble the controls and figure out what we ...

Well it is far from perfect but I guess its not bad for a first attempt. Here is a pic of my DIY Lap Steel minus the strings. I will put the strings on later today and then see if the pickup and con ...

Thank you all for the replies. I'll make sure to ground the bridge. I don't need any random noise coming through. Smile

Cheers

Just one more question if I may. I think I will be ok on the wiring using the diagram from Seymour Duncan but in the diagram it show a black wire grounded to the back of the tone pot and it says &quo ...

Thank you very much. I think I found one that might work. Much appreciated.

As an absolute newbie to steel guitar I am in the process of building a lap steel guitar. My thoughts were to use average priced parts and, if I was actually able to get one working half decent, then ...
