Nice work! Sounds great

There's no standard that I'm aware of. For dynamic mics it's hard to beat a Shure Beta57. As far as condenser mics, I've owned and/or played through a lot of different mics over the years - AKG C1000, ...

Over the past 5 years I've tried out and owned a few different amps for my lap steel and my experience is nothing beats a tube amp for warmth and organic goodness. At one point I owned a Quilter Steel ...

Thanks Scott!

Can anyone here tell me what year this Ricky Panda was built? Given the string thru design and 1 1/2" horseshoe pickup I'm thinking it's a wartime era guitar but I don't know how to pinpoint what ...

I don't have any direct experience with the Lollar Gold Foil pickups on a dobro but I do recall hearing Jerry Douglas mentioning that it provides a beefier low end response that a dobro doesn't have o ...

So sorry to hear about this Todd, but glad to hear that you and your family are fine and your house survived the fire. Will be contributing to the fund to help you get back on your feet.

Great arrangement and nice touch!

Great interview Steve! Thanks for creating such a great podcast series!

Tom Snook,

You make a fair point - instruments do have their own unique individual character, sound and playability. It's just that it's difficult to discern those things solely by listening to vi ...

Tom,

A few years back I recorded maybe 10-15 different squareneck resonator guitars using the exact same equipment in the same room in my home studio and posted the clips on my website. After a fe ...

Since no one has mentioned it, you may want to experiment with adding a phase shifter to your signal chain to work towards getting the Lindley sound. When I first heard someone mention that Mr. Dave u ...

Nice touch Mike! Great tone and musicianship!

Thanks Nathan. I hope I get a chance to play a New Yorker sometime soon. I love my National Dynamic, so maybe I'd like the New Yorker even more!

Thanks Michael, I appreciate it but I already ordered one so should be fine.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Is there some consensus on whether there are any differences in the sound quality of the screw on connectors versus a standard 1/4" jack?

Anyone know where I can purchase an adapter and/or guitar cable for a
Vintage lap steel with an amphenol connector like the one in the photo below?

Thanks Doug. I've got a 54 Dynamic now which I dearly love. I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has done the a/b vs the New Yorker. It sounds like that's a little more complicated than it appears at fa ...

Curious if anyone here has experience playing vintage National Dynamic and New Yorker lap steels? I see a lot more New Yorkers for sale and I'd love to hear from anyone who has played a bunch and had ...

Can anyone share, what are my options if I want to get the pick up in my Oahu Diana recharged? Is there anyone in the Chicagoland area that could do this sort of thing?

Thanks, I appreciate it!
