Advice, help, you name it???? Help

Postby Goldfishresolution » Sun Oct 09, 2016 4:43 pm

Hi all, thanks for adding me, I have been given part of a pedal steel, it's the wood, machine head's, legs nut and fingerboard, it does have the bridge which I have photos of.

Electrics I don't have but I have plenty of parts I can coble together, and can always get a pickup wound.

It's internal mechanics I need to know, I've had a look and when I see various numbers of pedals, levers I thought, that's it i'm out of my element.

I know nothing about pedal steels, as you may have gained. But parts wise for the inner mechanism

Looking at this bridge, what do I need, where do I go?? Help!

I shall need to work out how to add photos
