Maybe Chas could move Larry's post to the #1,000 slot.

From Larry Chung:

Dear Forumites:

Thank you all for your ZB support and kind thoughts, your ZB stories and ZB information, and your continued ZB readership, decency, and dignity on this thread. I can't believe it's been nearly four years since it started (ZB). It's developed way beyond my wildest (ZB) expectations, and I'm delighted that it continues to grow and to spark more interest in these lovely musical instruments (ZB).

On a personal note, I'm honored and thankful to be a part of this Forum. I can't think of a better bunch of talented musicians and caring folks (who I've never actually met in person...). Whatever brand of guitar you play, I hope that this thread continues to spark your love and interest in pedal steel guitar. It sure has for me...

Many, many thanks to bOb for keeping this thread going, too. THANK YOU, bOb. I would again encourage everyone out there to support him, too, and send along a donation, whatever the amount, to keep this Forum strong and alive.

Like life itself, playing pedal steel is about the journey, not the end of the road, and I hope this ZB thread brings you a 1,000 lifetimes of adventures.

The ZB book/manual is still happening, although life's twists and turns have kept me from devoting more time to it. Please keep the stories and info coming!

All ZBest,
Larry

Henry, the bracket behind my roller nuts also has a recess on both sides but it is not enough to give clearance to the first string. That side has six tuners on an eleven string neck.
Anyone with an eleven string neck set up like to respond on this.

Bud; before you come down buy some of the same size peddle rod stock about 3-5 in. longer we can always cut them off, and I'll make your peddle rods while your here. I've made hundreds of them.

Although I don't own a ZB guitar, I do have a number of ZB pickups. I had a pair of 10's on my Professional, but I swapped them out, to install a pair of Bigsby copies that Danny Sheilds wound.

The S-10 seems to be good, but as a mechanic, I'm not, so I'm leaving well enough alone beyond manipulating end screws and tuner buttons. (I keep this in a storage area at work where light isn't very good. I actually was lying on my back on a cold concrete floor late last night trying to make sense of the undercarriage workings--no case to put it in upside down yet.)

A&B pedals work (albeit mismatched heights and action) but C doesn't seem to be pulling the 5th. (I've gotten into trouble before poking at rods and turnbuckles.) KL (RKR--as opposed to RKL...to the extent I can employ the term "used to"...) is not where I'm used to it and whole guitar needs a lift for me, but tone is absolutely great. I wish my ears had had more experience and basis for comparison when I had the first S-10 (#0248) to know if it sounded this good. I never got to hear the D-10--just too many mechanical obstacles to getting it in tune.

Congratulations on your acquisition. Advisory to Forum at large: esoteric inside reference follows. (Are we still in the same karass or parallel ones now that we're both owners and not seekers?)

Thanks for the email. I'd love to meet or speak or correspond with Mr. Beck, the younger. I also wonder whatever happened to the webpage that Zane's daughter Carrie supplied some years (yikes!) ago. Carrie, if you're reading this, I'd still love to fly out and visit and hear more stories about your dad.

Does anyone know how I can reach her?
