Hey Paddy! Thanks for the input. I'm sure it will be great in my Magnum(super little guitar). Had a Carter with a L710, so that would be a fit alternative. Play good...and keep them 'roos in order! Re ...

Hey all! Glad to hear all the good press on Dave and his steel products. Am interested in his X-10 pick-up and would like to put one in my Magnum for its hum- bucking capabilities. If I last long enou ...
