Hi folks, anybody know anything about "Clearwater" guitars ? Andrew Perry Singer-songwriter, guitarist, song re-modeller - and grumpy old man. [Non-text...
I have no experience of them, Andrew, but if they are the same ones the Really Useful Music Company are importing then Kevin Brown rates them quite highly - we...
Hi Peter, Thanks for your help, thanks also to Tom, Well I bought a Cleartone from RUMC, and it arrived in one piece in a substantial gigbag. It is a budget...
Hi Andrew, nice instrument! Soeone told me that the 'reverse-E-string-winders' is on purpose. It's got something to do with a better string tension, I believe....
I got hold of an Ozark Resonator so far I've upgraded the cone. I sent to StewMac for a new biscuit/saddle assembly which I have now received. The new saddle...
Unless it's a squareneck the bevelling isn't necessarily the same all the way across - you need to intonate the bridge in the same way as you intonate a...
I have a black Regal RD45 for sale. A few years old but still in good nick. It is a good starter squareneck, particularly as the width of the neck at the nut...
Hi, two things happened to me last week (yeah - exciting life). I was playing at a folk club (big deal) and met another dobro player - who didn't currently...
It wouldn't surprise me. Gibson lost interest in dobros a few years ago and they've now dropped nearly all of them from their range. It's no great loss - most...
Dobro Dobros are made by Gibson and are really not that good and expensive to boot. ... From: ResoUK@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ResoUK@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf...
That fits with what I've heard. I think they only do the Phil Leadbetter model these days. According to folks on the Resonation it's not bad when set up...

If you want a good reso for decent price, look for a Gold Tone Paul Beard Signature, or a Wechter Scheerhorn (the new Rob Ickes model is supposed to be good)....

Hi Sally, good to hear from you on this site. That download site looks great....any free passes?? I guess that would kind of defeat the purpose though!!! In...
I know I'm biased because she is a great pal, but Sally is by far and away the best teacher I ever had. She teaches music on the dobro is best way I can think...

I occasionally try and sell the Holoubek in a half-hearted sort of way, but it's actually a really nice guitar, and dare I say it, does some stuff that the...
Will you have both with you? It'd be cool if you'd give me a chance to compare them. Who knows maybe I might like ti buy the Holoubek... ... -- The opposite of...
