Another vote for Tom Bradshaw’s resonator II.

Stanford, it is a dilemma!
Thanks Joe, that makes sense. I’m going to work on it.
Thanks,

Hey there,
I’ve been playing open D for years. I tried A6th and C6th and I was almost able to make sense of em. Well, about a year ago I had Bob from Melbert make me a double 6. I hadn’t had a do ...

Bill G,
That’s a great method for removing those. No special tools needed is a bonus!
Thanks,
Steve

I need get a pickup for my square neck resonator, and I have no clue what to add.

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!

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
‘vibrato school’
Thanks, fell ...
