Yes, that is the basic set up. 12 strings and 7 pedals and 5 knees. Normally you over pay on Reverb, I don't think 1,900 is too bad. Yes, that is the basic model we are talking about here to do both E ...

So maybe 12 string tuning then to do both? Lots of nice 12 strings out there for 3,000.

Do you want to play country or jazz? E9th players can get C6th voicings just by engaging a single knee lever. E9th generally considered the more versatile tuning.

Watching the video, I assumed this was a six string National, but looking more closely Kully's National is an eight stringed guitar... nice !

Super version of Nobodys Fault but Mine here. Thank you Del Ray.

My condolences to those who knew Chas Smith. Is there a thread with further information about the Man of Steel project?

What sort of a copedant goes on an open G with four or five pedals?

(Very impressive looking 6 string by the way. Kind of a Fender pick up and maybe like an MCI fret board ? and some sort of orig ...

How about buying a double neck ZB Custom for only 1500 while you are waiting? Theres one for sale in Quantico right now.

I will puchase the D2F cover. Thanks for the replies.

There is nothing in the world like the E9th tuning with the two re-entrant strings (the "chromatic" strings) on top. It was one of the great musical inventions of the 20th century, as 8 stri ...

Lots of other instruments, not mainly steel, but a lot of steel, Brisbane Bop, on You Tube with Vance Terry. It would be nice to see a more modern take on Vance's stuff, but its outstanding for what i ...

Dear Bill - I won't answer your original posted question, you might not like my answer ! Trying to learn BOTH E9 and C6 PSG at the same time is quite a lot. Probably too much for most human beings. S ...

Adam Przybala or Jerry Erickson ? Maybe Jory !? Not me ! That's for sure.. Nelson over across the border in Indiana..

Wow ! He is using the old flat steel, like Cliff Carlisle in the Stacy Phillips book..... I do miss 3rd octave frets, they help with hand placement for certain harmonics.. I think my Fender 400 has at ...
