Help to Identify Steel Guitar

This is where you can rest a while and discuss anything - doesn't have to be steel guitar related!

Hi John, i go your PM No worries. I cant get my reply to you its just stuck in my Outbox. So here is what was in it....
No problem, as I said I only had 6 lessons. I am a musician but sadly not a steely.
My grandson is here for a few days this week, he is a BMus in Music Technology and we will set it up tomorrow and make some noise with it.( He plays the other sort of guitars)
St Neot is only a few miles away from here, sadly for me I think you live in St Neots.
Seriously it used to sound good even with me at the controls so I am hoping it will raise a bit of cash.
How would I describe it in an advert though?
Best regards
Alan

When you send a PM it stays in your outbox until the recipient reads it.

During this time you can still edit it, if you like.

So, if it's still in your outbox, it just hasn't been read yet.

Well my Grandson Jack has just taken over this PSG. He is usually plays standard guitars but is already making pleasing music on this PSG. Now I am doing it up a bit for him. New strings from John Davis, thanks John. I have moved the LKL pedal to the left to make a better playing position and easier to play the knee and the pedals. This needed a longer pull rod but one of the others was way too long so I pruned it and made a joiner from an electrical barrel connector. I also took took the opportunity to tighten up the excess slack on several of the mechanisms and replace a few nuts and bolts that had seen better days. We are now about to check and adjust the changers for correct clearance and tuning action. I don't like the twisted LKL pedal, anyone know where I can get a new (untwisted one).
Thanks to everyone who has helped me get the show on the road.

PS watch out for Jack Balding, I am sure he will join us here.

Well, thanks everyone. After just a few weeks on this board I have had my PSG identified. Bought new strings from John. Had it overhauled and reconfigured by Jimmy Gibson and then had it "stolen" by my grandson Jack who fell in love with the instrument. Ah well!!!
He is already a better player than me.
I guess we can close this topic now, Once again thanks to all.
Best Regards
