Did you try the Robert Randolph model yet?
It is thinner and longer than the SP1. Presumably for Pedal Steel ala RR. That is a very good suggestion. I have tried it and I think I would really dig ... |

Some Sierra Steels have a tone knob on the body or endplate.
Maybe that is turned all the way to the Bass end? Can you post some pics of the Steel and other equipment you are using? Do you know whi ... |

They have a drawer at our local Ace Hardware called "Nylon Spacers". That might be a good local source for a part that will work. I usually match the size to one of the other ones on the S ... | |
