I will always remember 9 Aug 1995 as an immensely significant day in my life. On that day, while attending a class at Oregon State on how to use the internet, I chanced upon something called Bobby Lee ...

I have just about everything you need, except for a few pull rods, not sure how many. They came off an EMCI, but should due the job. I’ll have to dig them out as they stored and I have to get to the ...

Unless I missed it, no one has mentioned the fact that the amount of travel an octave pair needs to make depends in part on the diameter of the core wire of any wound string. For example, if your 10th ...

Tony, I’ll take them. Send me your contact info so I can get a check to you. Thanks,

This guitar also looks to me like it has Kluson tuners. Closed backs with square, flat cases and no visible post bushings. That means post is bushed by the key head, which is thought to improve the to ...

I believe the late Mike â€œCookieâ€ Jones also had one of these.

Jerry, got it. Thanks. Check is coming your way with shipping address info. No rush on getting them sent. Iâ€™m dealing with too many nagging health issues to work on steels right now, but Iâ€ ...

Jerry, I will take the legs. Iâ€™m in TN these days, so if youâ€™re nearby, this could be easy. I tried to send you a private message and I got something screwed up. I will try again, later. ...

Case is a Woody Woodell made case, looking identical to the case for my Franklin, #18. Since I bought the guitar new in 1979, Iâ€™m sure Ericâ€™s case is original and the pickups appear to b ...

Just curious. Are Forrest guitars built by ForrestLee Jr. in Tennessee?

Stunning work given what I recall you started with. The color reminds me of the old one I told you I got to noodle on a couple of times. The one I owned was black with herring bone inlay. I assume you ...

Gotta number with it? Like 1501 or 1502 and ohm rating?

Which speaker?

Gary, Welcome to the Forum. Been a long time since I heard any mention of you. Don't know if you'll remember me, but we spoke a few times when you were playing for Shirley Jennings(?) at the Sail Inn ...

Jerry will make your guitar any height you want. Mine is 1.5 inches under. Easy enough to shorten the legs and rods of a used one. Good mechanics and GREAT tone.

Was the PA mix that went to the video pre or post EQ? It makes a big difference. I'm guessing it was pre EQ. Post EQ should have the video hearing what the sound person heard. Pre EQ would give the mi ...

I highly recommend the Nashville Palace. I was there last night (Sun) and saw Tommy Hannum with Wendy Newcomer and 50 Shades of Hay, followed by Ronny Miley with the Palace Band fronted by Larry Hamil ...

Barry, thanks for the link. Definitely not the same band. Totally different meaning of the term. More along the line of The Fugs or The Trogs. I never heard them, but always assumed they were a coll ...

Barry, re: The Shaggs. Are you referring to the rock band that was based at UMASS in the 60s?

Could only be Eddie Gossien. Saw him a couple of weeks ago. He was showing some prototypes of his HEG 3 steel guitar-- a new take on the Melobar type body style. The ones I saw were really sharp. Look ...

Jason, you may be able to bend the rod up exactly where it comes through the changer. This would cause the tuner to start at a slight angle but would keep the contact point from changing as the rod ...

Not sure what year your BMI is, but both Dan Tyack and I experienced this problem on early BMIs. The problem seemed to be that the 2nd string changer would actually twist sideways when it was pulled ...

There was a player named Tom Webb who had a very early Mullen D14. He toured with Gatemouth Brown for a number of years and I met him around San Jose. Not sure what became of him or the guitar. Eit ...
