| I just bought a dual 8 Guyatone. While I'm very pleased with it, one of it's leg sockets is broken. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? |

You're going to have to help us... is it a Fender clone? 5/8"x11? Then use a Fender socket, if you can find one (Good Luck).
I'll bet you have better luck getting the one you have repaired... welders love little jobs like this, and a six-pack near closing time can get you far.
New 1/2" sockets are available from several folks here, I believe... these fit pedal steel legs and are the way to go for new production or retro-fit. |

I also have the matching legs that telescope so if you want to make everything fit like it should, then you may get the standard of the industry.

Yeah, this would be a 5/8-11 thread. The standard is 1/2-13 now.

Please forgive my curiosity... are they 1/2" or 5/8"? |

Joe, I have a really stupid question for you; how in blazes did anyone break the leg socket? I have a Guya D8 and those sockets are heavy cast or solid steel. The sockets on my Guya are 5/8" and are turned from a solid steel.
My D10 Remington's sockets appear to be aluminum. It's hard to tell however because they are polished. |

| Les - No idea. I bought it that way. I also just had a tune up and it sounds great. Love this steel! |

Joe, I guarantee you will love that Guyatone steel. Many posters on this forum will cut down your Guyatone steel; however, 98% of those who slam it with negative comments, have never played one and are expressing some racial feelings.
I have a good friend, Kyle Rhodes, son of Bobby C Rhodes, who is a professional steel guitarist and a die hard 12 string Mullen fan, who has been trying for three years to get me to sell my D8 Guya to him. He has proven to me that it’s not the make of the steel, or which country it came from that gives it its sound, but the player who is working on the strings and holding the bar (especially when he hits the 24 1/4" neck) He gets hung up on the string spacing now and then but he can sure make my “ piece of Jap plank” (as it has been called on this forum) Guya sound like anything he wants.
There are three or four steelers on this forum who own Guyatone’s or the older Guyas and they love them. I would love to have Mike Neer sit down and do his pedal steel sound on mine. I can do it close to Mike but I don’t have my bar work up to his level yet.
