Mr. Green
Thank you so very much for responding to me. You are one of my steel guitar heroes and I TRY to duplicate some of your licks every time I play. You may not remember this, but years ago me ...

Thank you Ricky for all of the great info! I have very little experience with a Fender Twin but I've used a Bill Lawrence 710 quite a bit and have wished that I wouldn't have sold it. They are great f ...

Hey Ricky!
I know nothing about the caps in the amp or very little else for that matter. haha! I am NOT a tech guy! The man I got if from bought it new in 1972 and he once told me that he took it ...

That's what I'm hoping for.

Hello Mr. Green,
I have a question for you please. I have a 1975 Sho-Bud Pro I with the original pick-up and I'm playing through a 1972 Fender Twin Reverb with the original D120F JBL speakers. What ...

I heard that somebody tried the fretboard gag on Buddy Emmons but within the first few notes he made a quick bar adjustment and played flawlessly the rest of the set. It's only what I heard but I sure ...

Looks like a neutron combobulator linkage from a Neptunian XHSR209845 flying saucer. 👽🛸

Just as I suspected. Smile

Thank you Gary. I enjoyed it.

How can we hear this recording?

Mitch

I don’t think you could call it country, but it still works for many listeners.

At least they’re working, and doing the “big show”, much as I did in my younger daze.

It doesn't wor ...

I've made more mistakes in life than I can even remember but none have left an embarrassing and eternal scar; for this, I'm thankful.

That's a LOT to be thankful for. Smile

If I get buried in a pair of those, I'm going to come back and haunt the ones responsible for it.

I oil my steel, basically all moving parts, about once a year. I play a Zum, so I ask Bruce Zumsteg a similar question. He said that players have brought him steels that had been gigged hard on the ro ...

Dave,
Your travel-stop plate is a great idea, and your design is some really good thinking. You will probably save a lot of steel players, as well as six-stringers, quite a few dollars. Thank you fo ...

I don't think pickups or cables or eq settings have anything to do with it. Find a guy who plays well to play your guitar and I'll bet it sounds great up there.

It's gonna be in your picking and b ...

Nothing last forever. It's a simple matter of waiting your turn.

Mitch

It's an inspiration to me

Me too, Roger. I've talked with Hall Rugg's daughter through private text messaging and should be getting my copies in a few days. I'm really looking forward to watching ...

Hey Andrew!
How does it play and sound? Could you post some pictures? I have seen Emmons SD10's come from the factory with a D10 endplate on the changer end. I guess it was all that they had on hand ...

Thank you, Peter!

Mitch

Hey everybody!
Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of Hal Rugg and Buddy Emmons Live at Bell Cove on a DVD? Thank you.

Mitch

Steve Sanford is now the go to guy for Excel matters. He helped me a lot with m recent ExStar purchase and is a standup guy.

Yes he is. I've known Steve for about thirty years. I have played many ...

Happy Birthday MR. Franklin! It would be such a great honor for me to get to meet you sir, but a least I got the next best thing. I got to meet your son, and he autographed my steel guitar seat. Thank ...

It is a joy to work on something that was built by a craftsman.

That statement makes me think of my Zum. I've never seen a Bowman steel but would sure like to. Mr. Sam, Would you happen to have ...

Here in south Mississippi, 70 percent of the time it's either hot, raining, very humid, or all three. The weather here is very unpredictable. I don't like backing out at the last minute, but I don't l ...
