Thanks a million for taking the time to post all the wonderfully informative (and entertaining!) pictures.

As soon as I learn how to record on my computer, I'll post a clip of the Vega. (I know that some kind of recording software came bundled with the operating system on my computer I bought recently).

Not sure what that meant!....maybe it's how they described the dual coil p/u's function?

Richard,

That's a really cool model. I got one a few years back, payed too much for it, took it home and.....never looked back. It's a great guitar with two HUGE horseshoe magnets under the metal ...

Nice guitar! To me it resembles a Vega (By looking at the hand rest, v/t knobs, bridge, fretboard markers, and headstock shape).

Dang that sounds good! Sweet sweet tone and playin'. What amp are you using? It's being pushed perfectly. Wow!

Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

Those are the best looking steels I've ever seen.
Excellent job!

Sometimes 6 strings even seems like too much! Seriously, I could probably survive on the top 4 strings (min/maj/min thirds low to high). There is just so much available on those 4 what with slants a ...

You play a mean steel Michael! That guitar really sounds nice.

I contacted the seller when the auction began, commenting on how the mp3 demo was pretty cool. He responded with many thanks and sent out a CD he made. IMHO, when someone takes the time to build, li ...

Nicely done Rick. This is one of my favorites that you've done. The fact that you wrote the song as well makes it even more cool! Smile

Hello Sam

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find lots of help and friendly people here. I think it's a pretty good idea that you're starting with 6 strings. Take your time, listen to your fav ...
