Holy crow! Awesome work. What tuning?

Thank you posting this! What a great song.

I would assume that’s just glare off the chrome plates, they look the same color as the horseshoe pickup

Very cool!

Thanks for the reply. Oddly enough, even though the pickup is a Lollar, the outside strings aren’t nearly as loud as the others. Lollar said it could be the magnet needs to be re-magnetized. The pol ...

I recently acquired an 8 string Rickenbacher Bakelite guitar. There is no serial number that I can find. The volume and tone knobs are located on the treble side plate. Does anyone know how early the ...

Did Rickenbacher make a Bakelite B6 with black plates?

I would recommend the Dunlop 920. It’s big enough for a 6 or 8 string, and if you hands fit large size gloves I think that would be a good size. It’s quite a bit bigger than a 919, the next size d ...

Never seen those before, cool!

I sent you a pm Duane. Thank you

Needing to replace or repair tuners is worth 100.00 easy. And putting new buttons on old tuners is not an easy job. I think that definitely should be considered when buying a guitar

That is the absolute best kind of folk art! It’s obvoiously not fake

Iv never seen a fender with the same body as a KandF.

Every steel player should have a copy of this book!

So is the recording session mention here with Dick playing in F#9 with a G# on top-is that something he was doing later in his career? Iv seen pictures of his frypans, he had several and not all 7 str ...

For what it’s worth, the badge on my Dual Pro is attached with small nails.

Awesome stuff! Thank you for nerding out for our benefit. I haven’t seen that particular National before. I love the shape of that one.

I’d be shocked if the gear thread on the post matched.

Is the pickup original? A wider pickup would have most definitely been for a 7 string. Otherwise you could take the a couple tuners off and see if the original mounting screw holes are plugged.

I can relate David! I bought a Tascam digital recorder a year ago and recorded a couple quick tunes, lap steel and ukulele and guitar. You can hear the dogs and the kid in the background. Haven’t ha ...

That is a beauty! I have a butterscotch ‘53 already or I’d jump on this. Can’t remember seeing one that clean ever.

That is some great playing Roger. Your technique is really top notch, definitely worthy of that guitar.

I think that’s what people call a “black raja” highly desirable, not sure how you would try to fix that crack.

THAT music should be on the radio, so good. What tuning or tunings?

Thanks Allen I’ll have to look at C13 before I go changing strings. I can actually tune down to f#m9 on strings 1-5 without having to change strings, it gets a little flubby on string 5 but still wo ...
