I used to have what looks to be this exact same guitar. I sold it through George Gruhn in Nashville in 2001ish. I wonder if it's the same one...
Very nice.

these are very good midi guitars. I have one and quite like it. someone will dig this...

My apologies for what was not meant to disparage your sales pitch, just my aesthetic opinion on an artform.
Sorry if you feel this was not the right place for people's opinions. Best of luck.

Man, those were some of the ugliest guitars ever made. Never could figure out why they would make em so durn ugly.

Nice talking to you George. Pickup doesn't fit my guitar so it still available folks. Hope it finds a good home here.
Cheers, Pete

Hi George,
I'll take that if it fits my Excel Universal 12. I haven't been that enthralled by the tone of the stock pu. I used to own a shobud maverick and it had a much nicer tone IMO. How does this ...

Chances are that the ball-end of the
string was on the pin, of course, but
away from contacting the changer finger.

From now on be sure that all of the ball-ends

Thanks for all the great replies you guys. I think I will contact the builder about getting a new finger, good idea. I guess that taking the bridge apart is going to be a royal pain. I have never done ...

Hi, I was changing strings on my Excel universal 12 string yesterday and normally after changing strings on any instrument I stretch them to keep them from slipping.

That's a Jay Turser, Not a Dobro. Chinese.

Thanks for the responses you guys. For me it's not the left hand, it's the right (picking) hand. I just find the tight spacing really uncomfortable and all the strings kind of blend in together so I c ...

Hi, I bought an Excel 12 string universal last year and I am used to an old National dual 8 string console grand as far as string spacing goes.

Spoke to KonaBob. Very nice guy. Told me of some shows he's playing and I'll check them out. Thanks a lot you guys for the heads up.

Thanks for the link George. Lots of interesting stuff on the site, but no steel guitar. Might check out some of the other stuff though. Lot's of slack key and ukes, but no steelers.

Hi all. I am on the Big Island of Hawaii for a while. Anyone know of any good steel guitar players doing gigs I could catch? I'm north of Kona mostly but will be down Hilo way after the end of the mon ...

If it falls through, I'll take it.

In the early 80s I was doing some of my first recordings of my own stuff (demos) in a studio who's owner was a strat player. I happened upon a 1958 Strat in original case with brochure and tags that h ...

I just got back home from 8 weeks in Maui and Hawaii Island (the big one). I would suggest if you can find some steel in Honolulu to take it in because it's rare as hens teeth on Maui and Hawaii Islan ...

all I can say is......

WOW

David Gilmour's guitar and steel playing is instantly recognizable. It's a signature sound, like Santana's, Eric Clapton's, Niel Young's, BB King's, etc. You can hear it and instantly know who it is. ...

Alvino Rey. What did I win? Smile

You won a trip to: (cue drum roll)......

Bakersfield California!

Oh wait, you're already there. Well there's your prize.

Alvino and "Stringy" the talking steel...

That was great, thanks for the link.

I own a 50s National Grand Console 2 x 8 which was my main steel for 25 years, a 40s Oahu Tonemaster 6 which I like a lot, a 1934 regal dobro, and an Excel 12 string universal that I am having a hell ...

I used to own one of these consoles. Sounded nice but I think Gibson wins the award for the ugliest steels ever with these ones.
