Thanks Bill. It's probably my favorite and I have some pretty nice Stringmasters for comparison. When you play this guitar through a small vintage tube amp like a Fender Champ, its like dejavu - hea ...

This was the last one I had from the post on tuner replacement/repair last year...

Thanks to George Ghrun who sent me Terry Mueller's email address - tkm1957@aol.com with a note that he can repair ...

Dave B.,

How about a gig at the Contenental Club? Anyone else connected in Austin wanting to make this happen? Love to see them at Casbeers here in S.A. or at some place where they would be apprec ...

Thanks Rick - that is great detailed info and completly new to me. But like I always say...

"If it ain't broke... now wait a second here, maybe it is broke, or at least 40% broke, dad gum I ...

I love my Fender Pro. It has a vintage sound heard in many of the old western swing recordings that even my Stringmaster can't duplicate. My question is what is re-gaussing and how do you know if y ...

T.K. Smith has to be my favorite guitar player and while I have never heard him live with Jeremy Wakefield I was lucky enough to see him with the Golden Hill Ramblers here in San Antonio. Last Novemb ...

First off Bill and John, I am not a good enough player to benefit from the Mojo. I saved two Stringmasters from a trip to Japan (where guitar investors are pretty savy, and not that relocating to Jap ...

I wanted to see if anyone has found a good replacement key for the old Lollipop style tuners on older Fender Pro's and older Stringmaster. I have a dual neck Pro and a 4 neck Stringmaster (mint, exce ...

John, that is great news. I would love to see photos if you have any and would also like to hear what Ron had to say. I have at least one tuner bank that I will send to Terry. I replaced all the tu ...

And then she plays the Arts Fair for Fiesta here in San Antonio Texas 12 hours later. Whats missing here? Like 8 hours of sleep perhaps? Gosh that girl sure does work hard.

A forum friend wrote me and ask me a little more about Cindy's performance, so I'll add a little more.

What a show she puts on and what a nice person. She played here in San Antonio a few weeks back with Redd Volkaert and came over to our table to talk Stringmasters because someone told her we were st ...

John Lang sent me these very detailed photos of his 53' Stringmaster. First thing I notice is there is no slot to slide the tuner on to the pan. Obviously, the lollipop button is going to have to be ...

John, there is a sign in a restaurant down the street that says "It was a brave man who ate the first oyster". Not so sure I want to be the first, but I might. I would need to order more keys since ...

Check out these Grover tuners. This is the closest I have found to a tuner that might fit 1st generation Stringmasters and Dual Pro's (with modification). Notice the replacement buttons also availab ...

Terry Mueler is out of town until next week and he emailed me and ask me to wait until next week to send tuners, so you may not be able to reach him by phone or email. In the meantime, lets all work ...

John,

I also have a Dual Pro with the older style tuners that is about one string change from failing. One gear slips now but will catch enough to allow it to be tuned. Looks like this is another w ...

Andy, from what you have said I would suppose that the routings where the pan goes could all be different. In some cases you might need to grind and in others you might need to pad. In either case y ...

I have had the new keys on my Stringmaster in place for a few days now and I wanted to comment on how great they work. If you are use to gritting your teeth slightly when you go to tune a string or e ...

I just got in the Black GFI D10 from Jim Simon and the guitar is BRAND SPANKIN NEW! I guess Jim is one to understate things and certainly takes good care of his guitars. I have bought several guitars ...

I am looking for either a complete tuning pan for an 8 string Stringmaster or the banks of four tuning keys bass side. Pans w/keys from 400 and 800 would be fine as well as Stringmaster.

Thanks - Wh ...

I am sure Jim would'nt mind me mentioning this but he goes in the Hospital tomorrow morning to correct damage done by years of lugging heavy amps and band equipment. Another reason to be a lead singe ...

I just bought Jim's D10 GFI today and he told me he still has this Zeta fiddle. While my wife can't tell one steel guitar from another she damn sure would recognise a new fiddle so I passed on that o ...

SOLD, I'll take it. Jim, please check your email.

Thanks, Whit
