Hey everyone! The Nashville LTD has found a very caring new home as of this afternoon. Thanks so much to everyone who wrote.

Thanks all! All PMs and one email have been replied to. For right now, I'm going to say sale is pending on my Nashville and I will update the thread right away if it's not.

Selling my Nashville LTD ten-string SD-10. The usual E9th, 3 pedals, 4 knees, George L's E-66 pickup installed.

Fretboard is a little faded and the mica on front and back is slightly loose / may ne ...

If you don't mind a mismatched set, 2 vintage, 1 modern, there's leg sockets like https://www.sillmusicsupply.com/Alluminum-6061-CNC-socket-to-attach-your-lap-steel-legs_p_23.html

(but you have to ...

Hi all! I recently came across a Magnatone console steel with one leg insert somehow permanently threaded into its socket by the previous owner. It took a machine shop to finally get the duo apart, bu ...

Erv, yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm not totally clear on how I can try to replace it yet, but I think that may be the crux of the issue. With your "stock" unit (and I know it's collec ...

Hey everyone. I obtained this very old DeArmond / Rowe Industries volume pedal along with a steel I just bought. It's one of the very early ones that don't have a model number anywhere and have a hard ...

If it's still available *I* would like to purchase this guitar.

Amen, Doug. They call it "differing learning styles" in my industry. Smile

Thank you, gentlemen. I do have plenty of experience teaching, just not so much on the steel; another factor is that my friend is in California while I'm in OK.

I've never been a big fan of Mel Ba ...

A good friend of mine in her mid-30s, and with no prior experience with ANY musical instruments, got interested in lap steel and has just picked up an old 6-string. I have 30+ years of multi-instrumen ...

I wouldn't worry too much about whether a string is "in" standard E9th or whatever. At the end of the day, what matters most is your own playing style and what sort of tuning serves that sty ...

So, if I understand this correctly, you're thinking about throwing a C# up a M6 *above* the 2nd-string E4? One concern I'd *personally* have with that is that you have such wide intervals between your ...

RE synthesis...there are alternatives to storing and recalling sampled or synthesized wave forms, thus enabling using the real time nuances such as where and how the string is excited etc.

Exactly ...

Also, on "what's the market" - possibly not current steel players, but I think both kinds of technology under discussion could be invaluable in attracting new players to the field and leadin ...

Some exciting new stuff here - thanks particularly to Messrs. Cowell and Packard for your very interesting input. I'll have to look into the info here once I've had a few brain-clearing rounds of joe. ...

RD - That crazy guitar I pointed you to also has programmable tunings. You can be in standard tuning and then go to a different tuning right in the middle of a song, and then back again. The limitatio ...

Dickie, no disrespect perceived! And sorry for the misread, the prescription in these glasses is a year or two out of date. Smile

I'm personally not as interested in a guitar that tunes itself, although it would be nice for some folks and I guess it could be something added on.

Simultaneously, I'm personally *very* intereste ...

To maintain the feel of the pedals, you would want a proportional system that would respond to partial pedal depressions and different pedal speeds.

I wonder how one would make the pedal controlle ...

Thanks, everyone, for the input. For the time being this is not something that would ever be intended for production, but the advantages-- hot-swappable pedal changes in particular-- are pretty cool t ...

Hey all. This may get interesting, or at least I hope it will. A friend of mine who's into robotics has been getting interested in ways to move changers and B-bender-type devices electronically. As a ...

Folks, sold. Thanks for the additional interest. Please close.

Sale pending, pending shipping calculation and receipt of funds.
