....but Bobbee....in 1964 the stringmaster wasn't vintage, it was just an old used guitar that was obsolete because it didn't have any pedals!  www.genejones.com |

Joey and Gene, you are both right! To be honest, I'd like to have and old Fender StringMaster with on old "Shot-Jackson" pedal on it. Shot did a good job doing this and I feel this is part of our "steel History". Most pedal jobs were butcher jobs though. I'm sure a "Shot-Ped" will turn up somewhere. I can understand this "desire to own",
Bobbe,
(A converted P-P with a plastic body? Good Lord Joey!)[This message was edited by BobbeSeymour on 24 March 2003 at 07:28 AM.] |

| At guitar shows I've seen old lap steels with a hole or two between the nut and the tuning key. They would run a coat hanger up through the hole and hook it over the string to pull it, and hook the bottom of the coat hanger to a sewing machine pedal or something. All for that twang. |

| Hi guys. I'm the one who bought this "travesty" on eBay. I plan to use it to restore a beautiful blonde swamp ash Deluxe 8 that someone had canabalized for parts. I thought that by using two basket cases to make one good one would be a good thing to do. I may not be using all the parts, so I'll let you know what's available after I've finished the restoration. |
