I use this one on an 8-string Fender 400, but it should be wide enough for 10 strings, too!

The Barber LTD and Gain Changer are really good at edge of breakup tones; for a slightly darker, "older" sounding tone, the TC MojoMojo also works well.
My favorite pedal for getting that p ...

Just wire up a cable with this:

Yep, I already ordered them from you a few days ago!

Thanks, guys! Ordered!

Hi guys,
I bought a Deluxe34 stand a few years ago (great product!). now I want to use the same legs it came with on a console type steel I built - but I have no idea on what the thread size is on th ...

Oh, and a few more points: If pot resistance wouldn't matter, then why do "no load" tone pots work so well in giving an extra bright kick in the fully open position (where all the pot resist ...

Well, different pot values DO influence the tone of a guitar, and I have to diasagree here - I find that it is very discernible when you move from 250k to 500k pots (or vice versa) on the same guitar; ...

Very cool - like an Acoustic Image Upshot.

Well, couldn't have said it better than Todd - that 5th on top really is VERY helpful when soloing, doing double stops, etc.

As somebody who came from guitar to lap steel, started out on 6 strings, and is now playing 8 string lap steel exclusively, in Western Swing (and rockabilly) styles, I agree with Bill & Jean-Paul ...

Very nice - great tone!
I just put JAG's super-slim floating CC-styled pickup on my Loar LH300 archtop - also sounds great!

In case anyone else is interested... I asked the original poster of that Youtube video what amp he was using, and it was a 1970s Princeton Reverb.

Funny, Princeton Reverb (maybe one modded with a 1 ...

Cool, what is the green piece? Great lookin woody too.

That's the aluminium baseplate, painted with primer...

Just to clarify - that's not my woody (I wished it was...) - just one of the pics th ...

It's a Lace Alumitone - and older model that didn't have the wiring for splitting the coils yet, can't remember the exact model name, but it should be similar to the model that is now called "Ton ...

Started building an 8-string console steel for myself almost a year ago, but never finished it (too much other stuff going on in my life...) - till today! It's finally done:

For me the high G is an absolut must, for any kind of soloing; I personally prefer playing C6 on an 8-string, but if I had to play on 6 strings, I'd rather give up the low strings (which are covered b ...

Hi, would the legs from a Deluxe34 lap steel stand fit those sockets? I already have a Deluxe34 stand, but would like the legs to do double duty on another, console-type steel I am building, can't fin ...

I use the SP2 on my 8-string lap steel - tried switching to a bullet bar for a while, but the SP2 feels more natural to me.

The saddles are adjustable - you can move them all the way to the front edge of the base plate.

Does finger harmonics include knuckle harmonics? Bercause that's what I use most (as opposed to finger harmonics done with the tip of a finger on the harmonic node).

There's a 8 Ohm version of the Jensen Neo 15"-150. I have that in a homemade amp. sounds great, and weighs nothing, compared to other speakers...

I like two pickups - but not wired like on a "Spanish" electric guitar (with a 3-way switch) - I prefer the Stringmaster setup: bridge pickup always fully on, neck pickup on a blender pot; t ...
