White Pearlette (Mother of Toilet Seat), Supro string-through pickup with dual magnets. Sounds great! Includes original case.

Hey Stewart,
It's not really a humbucker. It is a single coil pickup with 6 individual coils, one for each string. Having said that, it is a great pickup. IMHO, the best of the many variations instal ...

Thanks Steve!

My National New Yorker had a strange rattle when certain notes were played. I eventually tracked it down to the tuners where the tuning "knob" was vibrating on the shaft of the tuner. Variou ...

Thanks for the tuner tips guys. I ended up ordering official Kluson tuners from Amazon

Hey Patrick, I'm in Illinois too. Wondering what you would be asking for a straight Cash sale?
I've got a D6 "Stringmaster" now and love it.

Hey Bill, nice job on the tuner replacement! I noticed that your strings are wound on the capstan going up. Not sure if there is a reason for that but I always thought they should be wound going down ...

The last picture isn't my steel but shows what the wooden hand rest looks like when it is all there. I'm wondering what kind of wood it is made of since I'd like to repair mine which is missing the cr ...

I'm the happy new owner of a National New Yorker. The serial number, 3175G, dates it to 1940-1942 and it's in pretty good shape for it's age. The nut is chipped on the ends and the wooden hand rest is ...

Thanks Jeff, now to try and adapt your tab to 6 string C6!

Has anyone figured out Craving Your Love by Commander Cody in 6 string C6? Played on Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites by the great Bobby "Blue" Black.
Thanks

Stringmaster not "Strinmaster"

There is a pretty complete discussion of this subject on the forum, including pictures from old Fender catalogs.
Bottom line is that there was a evidently a name change around 1960 from Dual Professi ...
