I've just stumbled on John Ely's website, which shows several classic steel guitars wiring diagrams.
Among them is a 50' National D8, which (just a guess) may be close to the Supro. The National's nec ...

Howdy folks!
I'm trying to repair the electronics of an old Supro D6 (double neck, with string thru pickups). It happened a moron tried a fancy custom wiring and actually screwed it up.
The outer neck ...

Howdy,
Im he happy owner of a double neck Supro lap steel (6 strings per neck).
I was wondering:

1/ Which 2 tunings could cover styles ranging from blues to rockabilly to western swing to old timey c ...

that lil' reggae on the second sample sure sounds nice

Hey great cap Red,
Believe it or not, the day I got this cap I snatched a rendez vous with an awesome girl! These caps have mojo.
Anyway everyone should visit Red's website and put the sound system on ...

That's a beautiful guitar, it looks CLEEEAN for such an oldie. I paid a bit less for mine (bought on ebay too, for something like 320 bucks - but mine doesn't have the Kluson tuners, and has a built i ...

geeeez I paid 80Eur for mine (exact same model, but with dot fret markers).
225Eur is WAYYY to much for that steel...
It's just a funky instrument... kinda unique... but not GREAT!

I would worry about the 5U4 rectifier tube. This guy yields a significant higher B+ voltage, and draws more current out of the power transformer than the regular stock 5Y3.

howdy folks,
I used to have the Spade Cooley's version (can't remember the steeler's name, shame on me...), but can't find it. I'm left with a cheesy midi backing track.
Could a good soul send me a mp ...

Ron you've sent me a pic a couple of month ago and I think your guitar as a flamed maple top.

Ron your guitar is beautiful. The flame on the top is a wonder.
I'd be seriously tempted if I didn't have pulled the trigger for that nice Supro.

This guitar is definitely not a 55' model.
The black tolex case make it at least a 1964, and so does the front logo.

Beautiful guitar anyway...

I'm listening to the "Swing Time" live CD.
Who is the steel player?
What tuning / guitar does he play?
This guy definetly has THE licks... and awesome BOOOWHHAAAAs!!!

SUH-WEEEET!!!

These WBS are bargains for European steelers.
Just as good as any USA made guitar, without the shipping hassle / taxes / no guarantee.
This one look quite gorgeous...

Thanks for the close up pics Rick.
I finally understand how are these pups constructed.

Do you guys have any info about these Kay made lap steel:

Hey!

This morning at the local Guitar store I've tried a nice old lap with Soap Dish pickup (Gibson or Kay 40' design I guess).

How does this pickup compare to the Valco String Through pickup ?

BTW Rick, are these easy to play? ie I suppose it is impossible to palm mute the strings due to the string thru pickup design. Is it a problem, can you live with it?
That's the only thing I might disl ...

Hey Rick, you're insane! You've got way too much of these ole crappy Valcos.
BTW I'm looking for one, so please shoot me an email if you wish to let a nice one go.
(;o°)

Roy Thompson had no link... If there is no result on this forum I might go for an old Valco made steel with soapdish pickup lying around at the Halifax Folklore Center.

I'm still looking...

Hey Ron, you can send me a pic of your lap on my email adress.

Hey Chris, thanks for the tips, but I've already checked these place... I didn't ask the dude at Gig Street though, but there was no ste ...

I'm looking for a Gibson (not a BR9) or Supro 6 strings lap steel, good shape, must have a case.

canadian sale preferred (I'm in Halifax NS right now)

Cheers
