Wayne, most likely it's the single coil pup and that can be upgraded. I've read that there are single coil size pups that are essentially humbuckers with a counterwound coil under the primary coil. I ...

So far I've been playing with these on my Supro 6 string Jet Airliner. Tonight I'm going to try it all out on my Gold Tone LS8 in E7th. This should be a riot.....by the neighbors. Laughing

Yeah Frank, thinking about that and the Boss Metal. I have to say the B9 and C9 pedals even by themselves sound really nice. They track really well, much better than earlier organ synth pedals. The Ca ...

Doug, about all it'll make me famous for is possibly criminal steel abuse. Evil Twisted

I've been doing some oddball messing around with my Jet Airliner lately. I hooked up Electro-Harmonix B9 and C9 organ pedals through an EH Holy Grail reverb and a Boss distortion pedal and went a bit ...

The RLS-1 has the slotted head, my Supro and Gold Tone have the standard head that uses regular tuners. I did change out the tuners on the Gold Tone as well because the tuners on it were plain worn ou ...

I got an inexpensive set of tuners from Stewart MacDonald and put them on when I changed strings. Made for a big improvement. Smooth and no slop and holds tune very well.

I'm just getting started on lap steel and I have lots to learn. The forum is a great resource. I just ordered a big set of DVDs and CDs from Georgeboard on ebay and that should get me going pretty wel ...

Thanks guys. I picked up some Dunlop fingerpicks and a National thumbpick. Much better.

I have to say the ones I have are cheapies. I even had to take a fine file to get rid of sharp spots. Never going to buy the cheap junk again. Thanks for the responses, those banjo picks look good.

I've been using finger picks I got at Guitar Center but find them a bit uncomfortable. Can anyone recommend better ones?

This guy has the leg mounts for sale. No messing with the angle, it's built into the socket.

Thanks Brad, good idea.Guess I'll have to take some measurements and make up some kind of drawing and see who I can find to make one. Too bad nobody makes repops

Anyone have any idea where I can find this cover?

I just picked this up in a trade deal

Thanks Robert, I bookmarked the site. I plan on eventually building a lap steel and that will be handy. I know this Rogue is kind of a bottom feeder but it should do for a complete beginner like me as ...

Thanks Greg. The problem with the current tuners seems to be poor fit between the gears on a couple of them. Very sloppy fit. I'll check out StewMac.

I'm real new to the lap steel and traded into a cheap Rogue RLS-1. The tuning machines are pretty sloppy and wonder if anyone could recommend some not too expensive replacements of better quality. Any ...
