Hi folks,
Recently purchased a '65 Triple Neck Stringmaster after having only played 'straight' guitar for the past 40 yrs. After getting burned out on playing classic and blues rock, I challenged myself a couple years ago to learn to play in the style of ppl like Albert Lee, Vince Gill, etc. Long story short, this led to an immersion in classic country music and players like Roy Nichols through Redd Volkaert, and...a new band! 
That said, I figured the time was right to branch out some more and I was fortunate to find the following at Gruhn which I promptly purchased and have been wood shedding on for the past couple weeks:
I've been studying Cindy Cashdollar's videos and just ordered Andy Volk's book and am looking forward to adding steel guitar to my arsenal of sounds!
I look forward to being a member of your community!

| Excuse me for a moment while I pick my jaw up off the floor and wipe the drool that's presently running down my chin....what a great looking steel!! |

I saw that steel when I was at Gruhn's last month for ResoSummit. As with almost everything they sell, it's the top of the line. Congratulations on buying that guitar; I hope you'll be very happy with it.

Thanks Dave. 
The only issue I've found is that I'm unable to expand one of the legs. I've tried finding replacement legs online to no avail. If you or anyone else can point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

Joe, very nice instrument! You are a lucky man.
Try taking the threaded ring completely that holds that leg clamp. There is most likely some corrosion or Cocacola or spilled beer or something binding it up. Clean and reassemble and you shold be good to go.
I have a Fender guitar that the leggs did this on until I cleaned 'em up. Keep it stock if you can!
Best,
Rich |

| I had a sticky leg recently. I got a gallon of hot water and poured it on the outside slowly to make the metal expand, then twisted it to extend. Worked like a charm. |
