If you could summarize the tone how would you describe it?
Big and resonant.

Who makes it and where are they producing it?
Dusenberg is out of Germany.

What is your copedent?

After only having the Pomona for a week I took it to last nights gig.

The band loved it and made me play it on songs I had not even worked out yet!

I even had people in the bar come up and tell ...

I'm looking forward to that E tuning course. Tons of C6 material out there but not so much for us who like E and its variations.

My first impressions:

Amazing build quality. You can tell alot of engineering went into this guitar.

I like the sound of the guitar. I prefer the neck pickup so far. It has a pretty PSG like sou ...

I have been a guitar player for 30 years so I like E tunings.

I don't have room in my hear for two totally different fretboard maps.

E will also be cool for my Dusenberg when it shows up since ...

Thats the site I got mine from. The Euro to USD exchange rate is about 1.30.

When I went to buy it my total cost came in at 1143.44 EURO.

For some reason the price dropped a good bit on the Th ...

The be purty.

When I do I shall make the fingerboard translucent with a light underneath it so that the frets light up in the dark.

Now that would be cool. There are a few guitar pedalboard makers that use col ...

O yea, I'll post a few pics and give my first impression review once I get it.

That chart maker is very cool. I'm going to use it to map out my 6 string.

Thx!

I like vol pedals. Vol pots tend to roll off the highs. Some vol pedals will do that as well if they use vol pots inside. I like the vol pedals that use the photo eye like the Hilton.

I had been eyeballing the Dusenberg for some time. Thing is every place I came across in the US was selling them for $2500 to $2700 before shipping!

Then I came across Thomann cyberstore and got o ...

Right to the point.

I think I will hunt down that video.

I pulled out the bullet bar I had from my brief run on the pedal steel and yes indeed, it works!

I had been using a dobro slide that ...

Ahh, I will have to do some reading up on those. Thx!

First, I am new to lap steel and its tunings. I have played slide on guitar for a few years in open E but wanted something different.

I have heard clips *not many!* of guys in E7 tuning *six string ...

I was just at his shop about two weeks ago and he was talking about all this. One reason he mentioned was that his long time supplier for legs has quit making them due to the cost of quality chrome pl ...

Ditto on the M&M tubes. And it gives me an excuse to eat M&Ms.

I don't see any problem with doing crazy stuff on stage if it makes you feel good while doing it. Now if you have some guy telling you that you must act like Jerry Lee Lewis while playing your steel t ...

I have had it since I was a kid, my cousin threw a fire cracker and it went off right next to my ear.

The last time I had it checked I have no hearing loss but I do have a constant high pitch ring ...

I went to visit Roy over at his shop where he build the Pedalmaster guitars today. He told me that whenever he makes a guitar for someone he gets their measurements and makes the legs the correct leng ...

My Desert Rose is 24" from bottom of guitar to floor. Works great for me

Interesting, my guitar is 26-1/4 form the floor.

That 2" would be right about what I need. And yes that sounds ...

I happen to be short. 5' 7-3/4" to be exact. I am starting to think my steel was set up for somebody closer to 6'.

I gotta tell you guys, I got my copy of Jeff Newmans Right Hand Alpha and been working on that this week.

So far I like it. I have been just doing exercises and nothing hurts! Even my index finger ...

Well, I picked up a throne and am finding myself sitting MUCH higher in order to get my arm arms in the correct position.

As far as the rest I think I will devote time each day to both blocking me ...
