I agree with Michael 100%. The Steeltronics pickups that Bob is installing in his Melbert steels are the best in my opinion. I had him build me a double six and we decided on Steeltronics. I’m playi ...

No kidding!
30 to 40 years go, I’d start the morning in Tacoma, hit the pawn shops, and work my way through Seattle. By late afternoon I’d be finishing up in Everett.

Just a thumb pick for 40 years,BUT, during Covid I decided I’m gonna learn finger picks. It worked, I’ll never go back so
YES for finger picks.

Latch Lake and for Stevens type bars, the Shubb SP3 is a great bar.

Ted,
I had to play after breaking my wrist, right out of the cast. This was what I used, a Stevens bar that I added these clips to. Not the best idea, but it got me through.

Hey there Ted,
This is a little off subject, but I watched the video and saw the bar you were using. How does it attach to your finger? That’s a great idea!
Thanks Ted,

Thanks fellas, and thanks Bob!
I first contacted Bob with ‘my list:
Double neck
24.5 scale
3/8 string spacing at bridge and nut
Raised back neck
Blue color
Tunings: Open D on front neck, A6th ...

Been playing this Melbert for six months now, and I give Bob and Melbert steel guitars a 5 star rating. I had specific features I wanted, and Bob made it happen.
Thanks again!

Another vote for The Atlantic. I’ve had one on my board for some time now.
No problems, no complaints.

Always played 22.5 then I picked up a 6 string 24.5 scale practice board.
I played both for almost 2years. What hooked it for me was
I play open D and a 62 on the low D. The longer scale stays in t ...

Hey there,
I saw this post a few days ago. It’s my new favorite song, it’s made me want to go back and improve some basic technical stuff. I’m currently in

I broke my left wrist 10 years ago and had a cast.
The band still had to play so I put this together:

My process:
One cable for both steel and guitar. That cable goes to my pedal board, into my tuner so it mutes the thing. So-tuner on, unplug one and plug in the other. I have 4 pedals on my board. Th ...

I’m no pro, but my beginners sense, and my band, tells me sustain is great until the chord changes. I Guess I could just hold that G…but they switched up and the song had a couple D’s and C’s ...

Bert,
That is sweet! I’ve thought about benders for years, but I’m ready.
Thanks, Steve

As a first time listener, I gotta say that this is not your run of the mill tribute!
If I close my eyes, I’d swear I’m listening to Linda Ronstatd and her band.
Great music, great band, and an ...

Not so good: this resophonic
Really good: Interrupter Jones.
Thanks Noah.

I ordered this Melbert, D6, 24 and a half scale. I asked Bob for this color and he did a great job. The tunings are; front neck is D, rear neck is A6th. I wanted the string spacing 3/8th’s at the br ...

I second that vote for Melbert. Bob just shipped the new double 6 console he’s built for me.

Ahh, so sweet! All that’s missing is a sandy Smile

Beautiful.

I’ve had this pedal for a couple of months, just working on the ‘how’ it sounds.
I do play resonator with the band, but when we play out it’s two or three bands one set. So there’s never be ...

They’ve posted 7 videos, and this is the only one with steel. That youngster is a darn good guitar player too.
