John, I've always loved this tune! I would appreciate a copy of the tab.

That episode has to be at least several years old. Jimmy Capps as “The Sheriff” is on guitar, he passed away in June, 2020.

Those Paul Beards are great. The one Brooks recommended looks like a great deal.

It's been recommended before, but I think the Gretsch squarenecks are good value. They come up used fairly often as ...

Thanks for your advice. Still thinking, now mainly 8 with a 9th or 13th tuning. Don't play much bluegrass and fear being a little limited with gbdgbd. Will give the MO store a call. Thanks again.

Someone else will have a lot more knowledge regarding a replacement pickup, but I'm pretty sure the steel guitar you're asking about is a Marlen, not Marlene.

I'm no authority on being able to determine the year from the photos of the guitar and the case though I would guess that it's from sometime in the mid to late 1950s, but you definitely have a Fender ...

I clicked on the link. The guy wrote something like if if doesn’t find a new home the parts will be removed an it will go into the fireplace.

Sounds about right…

Standard Do-Bro tuning is.
6-G
5-B
4-D
3-G
2-B
1-D

The 6th string is G higher than a standard 6 string E
Jerry Douglas lowers to standard 6 string E.This gives him bottom 3 strings Major top ...

Beautiful work Paul!

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the slotted headstock.

I tuned my Clinesmith resonator to this today, and could spend all afternoon messing around with it. Thanks Doug!

My wife opened the door to my music room and said, “that sounds beautiful!”

...

17 strings - well I guess that explains it! A lot going on there. To paraphrase a character from the old Monty Python TV show - that would make my brain hurt! Shocked

That was pretty cool Bill, thanks for sharing. And I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering - is this a non-pedal E9 tuning on an eight string guitar?

I’m guessing Gary is referring to the video in the link below:

Love this song!

Please send me the tab John.

Thanks

Gary sent me this photo of the guitar and case.

Gary, I can’t see a thing. Winking

Some photos would be great if you want to provide some - if you’re having issues with that we can help.

Sorry I missed it! I had planned on coming, but I became ill last week, not tested - but I think it was a fairly mild case of Covid. A lot of people where I work in a part of the summer retirement jo ...

Is it available and if so at what suggested retail price?

Sam

It’s $399 and available. Click on Tommy’s link in his post above - it’s all there.

I hope I can make it to this one! 👍

Looking forward to this book Mike!

Does anyone make a generic stand for lap steel guitars?
Thanks.

I watched it a couple weeks ago - outstanding!

Bruce is a straight shooter - and a humble man despite his brilliance and accomplishments as a steel player.

Russ is doing us a wonderful service ...
