I have a black Rittenberry with a dark blue, nearly black front. Black sounds best !!

You will want to clean the surface with an to remove the oily residue after using WD-40 before trying to get anything to stick to the surface.

As far as lightening the load I had an older Wilcox steel which wasn't a bad steel, but heavy. The case for it was even heavier so I decided to go to split cases. That reduced the load for the guita ...

At first I had quite a time getting used to them, but now they seem like second nature. Took a while, but now they are the only way I play.

Forrest, I'll take the amp. I sent a PM just now.

Sorry, should have told you I'm in the Mansfield, Ohio area.

Not sure how far that is from Grand Rapids

I'm interested in the Telonix amp. Could you check on shipping cost.

What is the weight of the Telonix amp?

The reverb on my NV400 quit working. It started with a hum that increased in volume until it was very loud then quit. Now it was completely dead. Not having much electronic talent, I replaced the r ...

For Ron Hogan.
Ron, your clips sound terrific, but try as I may I can't seem to get my Spark to sound right. Strings 1 thru 3 always sound tinny, even though the strings 4 thru 10 sound fine. I've ...

I like the looks of that case. Where can it be purchased and approx. what is the weight. My Emmons case weighs 19.2 lbs. and my Rittenberry case weighs 21.2 lbs. A lighter case would be great.

Hello and welcome to steel guitar forum. That's a beautiful guitar, bet it sounds great. Good job.

I have backrests on both of my Steelers Choice seats. One came with a backrest and I built the backrest for the other one. I did make the backrests higher so it came to the middle of my back and ang ...

Oops, I meant to say WD40 works great for removing the adhesive.

Actually a heat gun will do a great job of softening the adhesive and the decal can be peeled right off. for the adhesive. WD40 works great and it's something most people have on the shelf.

In my lifetime I have purchased ten six string guitars, one laptop and three pedal steels. Hmm, I wonder what that adds up to.

When I first sit down to play (I use the term very loosely) I go through the grips several times. My playing sucks and my tone is awful, but I still love doing it.

As an aside, I have a beautiful ...

The amp sounds great. Who makes the spark amp and who handles them. Looks like a good amp to have.

The Eminence speaker has 'Patriot' on the magnet housing and also 'Lil Texas'. Has anyone heard of, or used this speaker?

I have been thinking about installing and a lighter speaker in my NV112. After several inquires about what speaker would work best I thought I'd better actually look at the amp to see what was in it ...
