I'm back into a steel guitar for the first time in ten years - a really great Fender Dual Professional. My old one (sold a long time ago) was very easy to get the full "boo-wah" tone pot tr ...

Just getting back into the steel after an 8-10 year hiatus. Subsequently cannot remember how I strung my old Dual Professional, which I sold. I am waiting on delivery of another one, and I want to g ...

Larry:
Maybe you could give a ballpark price for this instrument, and also talk about the sorts of items you would consider in trade. I'm sure I'm not the only curious person . . .

Which Super is sold? BTW - thanks for the extra pictures on the '67.

Thanks again to those who helped me the other day with another amp problem. The problem du jour is this: the reverb on a 20-watt combo is ringing, and on top of it - the depth of effect is half of w ...

Thanks to each of you. I went ahead and replaced the two EL-84s, and the 12AT7. The power tubes were definitely the problem. The 12AT7 didn't seem to make a difference. I really should have put in ...

I've got a twenty-watt amp that runs on two EL 84's. I understand they "run hot" and tend to wear out quickly. I've had this amp for not quite a year, and it currently is sounding a little raspy aro ...

Skeets McDonald and Wynn Stewart. Fairly obscure, definitely real. Shuffles, to boot.

I can "brighten" the tone on my '68 TR by running the volume on the guitar close to full-out, then adjusting the Twin volume accordingly. If I start to run it past 5 or so, it begins to get a bit sat ...

Although I am sure that BB King understood the difference between steel and slide guitar, this is (as we all know), a commonly blurred distinction. However, as the topic of SLIDE guitar came up, I ha ...
