I'm more of the school of anchoring them in the wood and using the metal tailpiece as more of a guide. The wood will theoretically give you a more solid anchor and perhaps richer tone/more sustain tha ...

Jezz! Tough Room!

Welcome to the Forum, Sherwood. Very interesting song. Original? Thank for posting! Love the old D8 Fender with the traps.

Bill,
That guitar sounds as great as it looks! Excellent job, and great to hear that Kevin could drop by to give all your steels a test run.

That would be my slightly educated guess!

Hard to choose just one, but I do like you latest one (#2) a lot. However the aluminum B6 style (#5) I believe is perhaps the most innovative construction.

Robert,
I agree that is an Ace Model, however I would be very surprised if it didn't have the post war 1.25 inch horseshoe. Maybe you measured the cover instead of the horseshoe itself? I too saw a s ...

What a beautiful instrument, Bill! You have really outdone yourself on that one!

I would have to throw this solo in there, Farther On with Jackson Browne. The tone, execution and sheer beauty of Mr. Lindley on the Bakelite Rickenbacher is just exquisite!

Thank you, Willis. I appreciate the info!

Thanks, Glenn
I will definitely let him know.

Thanks, Noah!

Thanks guys! I’ll pass along the info. Howard, it joins the body at the 12th fret. Did regal make unbranded guitars, or did the logo on this just go missing?

Hi Howard,
Yes, I have seen a few with a faux or no resonator, but this guitar does have one. Also a spider bridge configuration.

I was visiting a friend yesterday and he showed me this old round neck resonator he got many years ago. He a ...

Thanks for the pictures and construction details, Bill. Very nice work, I bet it will sustain for days. Any bets that #12 won't really be the last!

Howdy right back to you, Mr. Bill,
Still admiring your Skinny Panda. I have a few questions about the aluminum body/neck construction if you don't mind. Is the guitar and neck all milled out from on ...

Great job, Bill! Very impressive work. Do the strings attach from the bottom? Bet it sounds great.

Maybe a little Hawaiian? Love this entire album...Hawaiian Touch

Dale and Erv,
I did find an article talking about the first carbon fiber tricone that Adams had made. My interest is piqued! Anxious to see the pictures.

Hi Dale,
Thanks for your response. I am not familiar with the Adams tricones. Do you have any pictures you could send me?
Thanks,
Steve

I am beginning to sniff around for a squareneck tricone to help satisfy my Covid Blues. I likely can't afford a vintage National, although that is what I dream of. More realistically I'm thinking a Re ...

Thank you, Mike. PM sent.

Great job on one of my favorite Hawaiian tunes. By any chance is the excellent backing track available for purchase from you?

Thanks for the info, Jerry! Nice score on the frypan from Gryphon!

Jerry,
Would love to have a frypan one day! Is that putty plug in yours soft in composition, or is it a harder material?
