Excellent Rose , as always

I have a Seagull S12 that I would like to turn into a steel.
My question is; to straighten thé compensated bridge, which part of the bridge
do you measure to to keep the scale correct or does it ...

Me three for the Melbert. Good wood , good pickup and good guy making them!

I learned to read voice in grade 4. I took up bass in the mid 60â€™s. Then onto guitar.
Around that time there was a theory that came out that said if you were a natural musician , learning to r ...

Thanks. I will pass it on. It is for a young fellow with a cheap guitar and no money.
I suggested low bass G but he wants to go to high bass G.

Anybody ever tried to reinforce a round neck acoustic guitar enough to be able to play all
tunings?

The bridge, pickup cover and knobs look a lot like a 40s Kay. The headstock and the scallops in the body donâ€™t tho.

Boy ! Am I ever uninformed! Wild cherry body and cedar top is what this guitar is made of. Which probably explains why the top straightened out with the addition of moisture.

As a regular guitar it sounds good. All cedar body and I think the top is spruce. I may have a tall nut around here somewhere. (We are renovating) If I find it I will try it out as a steel. When I got ...

Thanks Mark. I have recently been given one of those Seagull 12 string and am considering turning into a 6 string lap steel. Mine has been rode hard and put up wet so not as pretty as yours.

Mark; does that slanted bridge affect the intonation up the neck?

I donâ€™t know who he is or what tuning he is using. However, I do know the source of some of the tone. An early 50s Magnatone Lyric , just like mine.

Excellent as always Rose. Love your tone and love the band.

I have rheumatoid arthritis in addition to an severe injury on my picking hand. Swelling is a way of life for me. I have been using all plastic finger picks for several years now. I fit them when ther ...

Everybody talks about the glories of going barefoot but nobody talks about the broken glass and dog do do. Sorry, couldnâ€™t resist! I havenâ€™t heard of that album. Where did you find it?

If you read standard notation , just make fretboard maps of each tuning and spend sometime in the woodshed. Jerry Byrdâ€™s book teaches you how to read , if you already know how, you donâ€™t ...

Thanks for the info Stephen and a great big thank you for the work you have taken on to keep the non pedal room going.

I canâ€™t get it either. What is a VPN?

I use the D over G on my resonator a lot. I sing a little and having access to full minors is a bonus. It is also a quick retune from high bass G. I have recently tuned my s8 to the E over A tuning an ...

I am not an expert but I had a similar problem on my Gretsch Bobtail. I found that on my guitar the slot for the second string was worn and the break over was too sharp. I initially put a wooden wedg ...

Classy Rose! You get better and better all the time!

I believe it is Leon McAuliffe in 1936.

Cindy Cashdollar, Eddie Rivers, Tony Locke and Rose Sinclair, jut to name a few.

I too use the D over G tuning. Especially for songs with lots of minors.
