It's been a bit over a year since I have flown with a pedal steel but I have always gotten it on the plane. I also try to fly Alaska airlines most of the time. Just in case somebody objects, I keep a ...

Very nice rig at a fair price. Very Happy

I've had several fat backs through the shop and they have all been exceptional guitars. I have a 1970 fatback myself with 14k ish pickups in it and I could not ask ...

I had a Clark in the shop several months ago for service. It was the first Clark to come through the shop. I was very impressed with the performance after servicing, very much reminded me of my D11 ZB ...

PM on the way.

For 14-15k output pickups that come through the shop, I tend to set them at .125". If the bass is overpowering the treble, I will drop the bass side of the pickup a bit more. For hotter pickups t ...

Hi Nick.

I have frequently used that method for a more positive half stop feel for the 2nd string lower. push the raise finger till the half stop, then a collar engages the lowering finger at the s ...

It is possible, but not for all strings without really messing up the travel of other pedals. I have the vert knee split on my 5 string on 2 push-pulls right now. Kelcey has done it on the 6th string ...

I make them pretty frequently in my shop. I also replace the aluminum with stainless steel so at least that one will not break in the future. You can also use a tighter nylon tuning nut on stainless r ...

Very cool article in the NY Times about a young pedal steel player.

Any time Christopher.
We can make it taller or shorter. No biggie.

This is the only one that I know of.

I recently had a customer whom I did what I call "spa day" for his guitar about 6 months ago with a similar complaint. Also a push pull. He told me his guitar used to do the same thing, but ...

I recently serviced this guitar at my shop. I can say, this carter is in better condition than I have seen from any other Carter that has been through my shop. And, Its had a service recently. You sho ...

Hey Y'all.

4th in line?
Great looking guitar!
Whoever gets it will be lucky.

I just had a Legrand II on the bench yesterday. It was in excellent shape with only a few minor issues (and an interesting copedent). One was that a lower was dragging the raise finger along with it l ...

Man, that is tempting....
Hows it play Abe?

Yup!
And enjoying it! Apologies if I missed any contacts as I was out on the East Coast for the last week and off the grid.

Another PM sent. Very Happy

Hi Paul.

If this came into my shop, I would just remove enough pull rods in order to extract the cross shaft to avoid any potential damage to surrounding area of the guitar. More of a pain in the ...

Hi Paul.
Sorry no shop in Fl. The original poster (also Paul) is from my area (Seattle).

Hi Paul.

The Carter rodding chart is a good start, but leaves some pulls unbalanced, or un-timed as some would say (as in, pulls on 2 strings may not start and end at the same time). I have convert ...

Man, I really need to learn to suck my gut in when the camera comes out....

Those old ZB student models sound incredible, just wish they played as easy as Emmons PP or modern guitars.

Thanks Jo ...

Thanks guys!

I got your email Paul.
