'figured I should share...

I'm a lucky guy.

The Fingerboard on the Green one is a Sho- Bud. We placed it there as a joke, and it looked so good I kept it on. It's attached with double-sided tape over the original.

It can be easily removed.

The 4th pedal is my "Faux-C6th Pedal". I used to have a "Franklin Pedal" there but moved it to my vertical Knee Lever.

The "Faux-C6th Pedal" gives me a CEGACEG on strings 9 thru 3, used with a KL.

The D10 was Al Brisco's main axe for the last 3+ years. My wife, Sally surprized me with it at Al's last picnic !!! It will be four years old in November.

You can see Al playing it here: http://www.steelguitarcanada.com/img/ISGC2K1/5.jpg

My Nash 400 belonged to PeeWee Charles, so it's seen a lot of great shows too.

Hope these guys don't catch up with me.

My RKL raises strings 1 and 7 from F# to G.
That's a rather standard change.
(It also has a half stop that raises String 1 to G#.)

The "Faux C6" pedal:

• Lowers String 9 from D to C
  
• Raises String 6 from G# to A
  
• Raises String 5 from B to C
  
• Lowers String 3 from G# to G
  

Since 4 strings are being moved by one pedal, it's rather stiff.

I don't pump it. I just hold it down, with RKL engaged. I then pretend to have a C6 lap steel tuned C E G A C E G, low to high, on strings 9 thru 3 .

Don E. Curtis has a book of 4 Swing Tunes for C6 Non-Pedal. It was when I was working thru these tunes on my real lap steel that I got the idea to make a C6 setup on my E9 PSG.

That 4th pedal of mine has always been experimental. It's function changes as I get "bright" ideas.

Al's called it my "pedal of the month". That's not really true. I've had this change for several months.

Here we go with the "mine is better than yours nonsense", attempt to hijack a post.

It's important to remember that only one of all the above 19 posts sunk to this level.

I'll prove I'm the better by ignoring it.

Here's the full description:

The RKL raises the F# strings (1 & 7).
String 7's rod is tuned to stop at G.
String 1's rod is tuned to stop at G#.

When String 7 reaches the end of it's travel, string one is pretty close to a G also. I can "feel" the stop in the KL.

I say "pretty close" because some movement of the bar or KL might be needed to get a true G on string one. It's an ear thing.

If I continue to press the RKL past the "felt" stop, string 7 stays at G, but string 1 raises to G#.

This "Faux C6" thing was just a quick and easy trick. I miss the LOW strings of real C6.

The Carter and Bud Frets aligned perfectly.(Bud-Carter?? )
I had to shave about 1/8 inch of plastic off the Bud's "Zero Fret" end to make it fit.

The Carter Scale Lenght is 24".
I believe Sho-Bud's varied between 24 1/2", 24 1/4" and 24". I used a 24".
