I've always been a fan of Larry D's pickups, Neighbor Friendly, and slide guitar Sure they are impressive the finely detailed appointments if you want a show piece to impress ones peers but.I'm using Faux Amps and pedal to enhance the Neighbor Friendly aspects and still be able to coax a snarling Bobcat out of the little darling.
all the lovely detail of fine appointments won't improve the sound, not a bit. I've seen a lot of over priced junk with big names and high budget presumptions. Both instrument have excellent sustain as is and with an added Keeley 4 nob compressor there is magic on tap. the Charley Christian is a very sweet pickup and sounds like an electrical storm with anything approaching high gain, hence the change. It's P-90 size humbucking, and has a smooth sharp edge like a well sharpened and honed knife with out the piercing highs. No it isn't like that, Somebody in marketing had to much caffeine on morning and thought the name would garner an increase in sale or something. I changed the basic models Charley Christian pickup for a DiMazio Humbucker from Hell. When Chandler introduced them they were very affordable and the quality was excellent.Ī single slab of Mahogany with a string through body arrangement and decent tuners. I'm in Melbourne but I'm a Kiwi and do some gigs for fun and a bit of profit which is an interesting change from teaching and playing the Bass.I have a pair of chandler lap steel guitars It's always good for me to go through the tunings so any more info I can give you is alright by me. I found better designs than mine after the fact on an American Fender Steel site but mine work very well anyway and are probably lighter, Weight being an issue already. C6: Left Knee left A's to Ab Left Knee right A's to Bb Right left high C to B Outside right C's to C#, but that's because I'm crazy and wanted to do it to see if I could. E9: Left and inside left : E's to F and Eb, Inside Right: F#'s to G, Outside right D# to D. I have probably put more Knees on than anybody else. If I was you, I'd get a couple of your pedals to give you more changes on the E9th. They do the trick as I put in two stages of leverage for the lowered notes as Fender steels need a lot more travel on the lowered notes. My Knees are cable operated because I didn't know any better at the time.
A lot of steel players think they need a lot of changes so it's all got a bit silly unless you're a rocket scientist and nobody fires you for playing too many damn notes!! The pedals on the C6 correspond to tunings often used on non-pedal steels and you can easily get a lot of chords with forward and reverse bar slants. That being said, you can do a lot with just the A and B pedals on The E9th. Putting knees on will help you get more of the sounds you've heard since the beginning of the 60's. D9 and F9 = Eb diminished With more pedals and strings you could do more but that would mean taking your foot off the volume pedal and using two feet on the pedals, which is what players did in the old days. This set up allows you to use adjacent pedals together e.g. D pedal: High A to B, High C to D = C major 9th.
The A pedal raises B to C#, B pedal raises G# strings to A and C pedal raises B to C# and E to F# The other 5 work the Back C9 neck which is tuned F,A,C, E, G,A,C,E and go, A pedal: A's to B's = C major7th. My guitar is set up like an Emmons often is and has from left to right: the first 3 pedals work the front(E9) neck tuned E, F#, G# B, E, G#,D#,F#. My knees are self designed and a bit mad but work quite well with the benefit of teaching you how the guitar works both mechanically and musically. My steel has 8 pedals and 6 knees which I added. turn your guitar upside down to see whats going on!! It's a good idea to disassemble the instrument and clean it up every now and again and keep it well lubricated. You can change the pedal setup easily on a Fender by shifting the cables about and adjust the tuning by turning the screws in the recess at the right hand end of the guitar when you have the pedal down. I like the organic feel of cable guitars and find they have a lot more soul than say, an all-pull Emmons. I think they sound cleaner and have a more colourful tone than short scale instruments, but are difficult to keep in tune and a bit sloppy to play. I've got a 1000 double 8 which has a great tone but is a big beast to cart around, which must make a double 10 even worse.
