  Amazing video...do we know what copedant/tuning he used for the other neck? I read somewhere he used a basic dobro tuning, but not sure if that's correct. I'm definitely getting a Fender 1000 next! Love my Sho-Bud but this sound is unmatched.

•

  Thanks for watching! I don't know what he had on his other fender neck. He played A6 early on, so it might have been that. But he actually called his E9 tuning A6, because that's what it was with the pedals down. Once he switched to Sho bud, you're right, it was a G Dobro tuning.

  I don't know very much about pedal steel, so I hope this doesn't sound too dumb. Is the pedal steel in this video turned 180? It looks upside down to me with the tuner heads on the right side.

  Not dumb at all. The pedal steel is in the correct position. The tuners are to the player's left.

  I can only agree starting with lap steel. 3 years ago I built my lap steel mostly with peaces from the hard ware store. It was a great experience during this period of time. I chose to make a 8-string because it gives you more flexibility and range. I invested in Jerry Byrd course, great educational material, you learn how to slant and a lot more. Cindy Cashdollars video course is a good aproach if you like Wesern Swing, I chose C6 with a high G becuase of her course. Than you can easily retune it to E6, the Don Helms tuning, learning with hos vourse the old Hank Williams stuff. My next project is going to get used to other tunings like B11 or a E13. Only later I consider to get a pedal steel if I see if it has advantages. Before that I still want to try the string bending technique from Billy Robinson and Kayton Roberts (crazy sounds with the tone control). So many possibilities on lap steel, thats my experience, sorry for this long coment.

It would help to use the same tuning, although I like the sound of that C6.

  I'm a long-time (50 years) off and on guitar player. Mostly off due to military service, marriage, and work. But now that I'm retired (and single) I have all the time, freedom to seriously study music theory, and enough money to expand my electric and acoustic guitar collection and to learn a new instrument; i.e., steel guitar. When I decided to jump into learning steel guitar, I knew that I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and begin with a lap / or console steel, and not pedal steel, so I decided I just needed a single neck guitar. In doing my research on what I might want to buy, I saw that one could buy a single neck 6-string lap steel for just a few hundred bucks. Butt I've always been a kind of "Gucci--brand" guitar collector; i.e., I want instruments with a brand name, so for my very first steel guitar, I went 5X pricier and got a vintage Fender Deluxe 8. Then I started reading everything I could about learning how to play steel guitar, and discovered that there were dozens, hundreds, even an infinite number of tunings for steel guitar. I quickly surmised that I did not want to keep retuning / re-stringing a single neck guitar to test out Open G, Open D, A6, C6, and E9, etc., so I went back to the popular website we all know and love, and bought a 60's vintage Fender Stringmaster T8. Both the DX-8 and T8 are short scale guitars, and in my search for multi-neck guitars and reading the Steel Guitar Forum, I learned that Fender also made mid scale (24 1/2 in) guitar, and a long scale (26 in) guitar, and I decided I "needed" mid-scale and long scale examples for my new steel guitar collection as well. So back to ever-popular website we all know and love I went and picked up a 1953 Fender Stringmaster D8 (long scale) and a 60's vintage Stringmaster D8 (mid scale) as well. THEN... I decided that I should get an actual 6-string lap steel. Back to the gear website I went and picked up a 60's vintage Fender Champ. By now you can see that I'm partial to Fender instruments... Then I discovered the world of lap steel benders on KZread so... back to the gear website I go to pick up a brand new Gretsch 5700 and a Peters G/B Pitch Witch benders, and a roller nut and roller bridge for the Gretsch. Just got the 60's D8 and the Gretsch guitars and bender hardware in today. I will take my time modifying the Gretsch to make sure it's absolutely perfect. I think the madness has run its course, though I really, really, really like that Duesenberg Fairytale... :) And now I'm watching all of your videos!

  I have now watched about 1 week os steel guitar videos and nobody doesn't explain why some lap and pedal steels sounds dirrefent. I mean that some have more round sound like hawaii styyle then there is the country twangy kind of sound. only 2 cheap lap steels I have found that have the hawaii sound are Epiphone Electar Century 1939 lap steel and Gretsch G5700 Lap Steel. I would say Epiphone has more hawaii sound than the Gretsch 5700.

  It took me years to figure out that you can turn the tone control down, and reduce the treble on your amp. That has more effect on the sound than the steel itself, so I'd check that out.
