I’d be interested to hear if this works out for you Bobby. You’d end up with something like a 32lb Deluxe… could be worth it. Spend some time breaking in the Jensen in before you make a final ca ...

You got a beautiful guitar there Richard. I loved my Maverick! It got me totally hooked on pedal steel and had great tone. I’d definitely buy the upgrade kit and get someone to add it and service th ...

Here's my mid 70's D-10, serial 0633, which I bought last year. I've recently had a Day to Emmons conversion done and a bit of a clean and service - it's playing really nicely on both necks and I'm ho ...

Even more inconclusive than the photo, here’s fuzzy Neil playing fuzzy steel on the back neck (eg at 15:15) but naturally the angle cuts off just above the plug-in boxes. https://youtu.be/iz67Vc9lUX ...
