Renewing my PSG

Postby Fran_Cedres » Wed May 22, 2019 10:37 pm

Mr John Davis sold me a PSG with a nice sound but in my humble opinion she needed a restoration. Here she goes... She'll be ready soon, I guess...

You have to excuse me. This is the first time in my life I play the pedal steel guitar. In a place like this, with professional musicians, used to play it, I feel a little bit ashamed. I hope you understand me and treat me as soft as you can. I can play the guitar, the banjo... but I have been dreaming all my life to play this. Thank you, John Davis for make me so happy.

Fran, if you now have the thing back together to your satisfaction....., I suggest you have a look at my basic E9th help video, it will give you some pointers to get you going.

Very didactic, thanks for your help. As soon as I start seriously with it I'll get in contact with you. Maybe I'll flight to your island and have a Guinness together as you teach me the basics. :D

I forgot to tell you, Mr Davis, that it wasn't only an aesthetic issue, I renewed the LKL knee lever, reorganized some items and added a new guide for the pedal bearings, an aluminium L shape side...
