Guy plays this very well IMO. It interested me also because I have a guitar like this on the way to hotrod a bit. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T6MzrHBaBao _________________ GFI SM10 3/4, 1937 Gibson EH-150, 2 - Rondo SX Lap Steels and a Guyatone 6 String C6.

Roger, I really didn't have much info on the guitar when I ordered it, actually made a low bid on it not expecting to get it but the guy accepted it.
I have since found out that it is a short scale, around 20.5 unfortunately. I might not have even messed with it had I known that going in.
That being said, I now plan to mod the bridge when I get it with some angle aluminum and see how it sounds. If it sounds as good as the one in the video, I may then lengthen the scale, convert it to a string through design and put a new fretboard on it from Georgeboards. If I determine it isn't worth that effort I will probably just resell it...I'm not much on short scale steels. _________________ GFI SM10 3/4, 1937 Gibson EH-150, 2 - Rondo SX Lap Steels and a Guyatone 6 String C6.

I've got tab of this but he is playing it differently and I can't figure out what he is doing or if he may be using a little different tuning. I know it is C6 but what he is playing doesn't seem to work for me. _________________ GFI SM10 3/4, 1937 Gibson EH-150, 2 - Rondo SX Lap Steels and a Guyatone 6 String C6.
