Fantastic! Thank you so much!

Good morning,

I recently go a Recording King RG35-SN and I love it! Got it strung up for open D. I'm not loving the tuners and am looking to upgrade to locking tuners. Does anyone know the size I ...

Looking for a soft padded case for a new steel. Pulled the trigger on a Recording King RG 35 SN with the humbucker. Very stoked to get it on Thursday.

So very helpful! Thank you so much for that!

Awesome! I'm going to have to upgrade the nut permanently like you did there.

Cheap lap steel with some mods added, mainly new electronics and a humbucking pickup I made using a pair of Strat flatware bobbins. Quiet as a church mouse and has a pleasing steel guitar tone with t ...

Appreciate it!

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Just a heads up to everyone that the Steel I got off of Amazon had some issues.

I got it on Friday and it was sent with a nut so low that it was unplayable. I had a nut extender that I had purchas ...

Signed up yesterday...great content and instruction! Thank you for the recommendations!

Just picked up the 20 L Zookies...a little tight but the angled tip is quite nice for surgeon like precision. I recommend! Going to try the pro pick. So are we pro angled or not?

I am likely too late with this post, but I do want to go on record with my praise for Lessons with Troy. I switched to dobro and lap steel at the beginning of the pandemic, after many years on guitar. ...

Nice way to start the day! Thanks!

I might re-drill the holes and straighten her out. In hindsight I should have used a level and lined them up evenly. But, it's working out nice!

I also picked up another cheap steel on Amazon for ...

Thank you all for the direction! I'm going to check it out for a month and see where it gets me.

Have a great day!

Thanks Bill! I think I'm going to check it out. I imagine it's an all access situation.

Good morning,

Thanks for the tips! I’m going to start it tomorrow night and see where I get. How many holes am I drilling? What size bit did you use?

Thanks again and have fun in PR. I have a bunch of music f ...

We do include in the instruction description the Kit Requires Effort and Ingenuity.

That was VERY freeing.

No need to add anything to the back end.
