Jim, the last time I saw Junior Barber a couple of weekends back, he had a
ROLLER NUT on one of his DeNeve "dobros" that Dick had sent him to fool with.
Roller nuts, (no wisecracks here, I'm being serious) are commonly found on
today's modern "egg slicer" guitars. We can re-invent the Pedabro here, if we
continue this thread long enough......O;-)
I have it on good authority that my favorite band Beartracks has been "in
studio" and is excited about the sound they achieved on their third cd. You heard it
here first folks!! I've got mine ordered already......huge grins!!!
Keep twangin,
Richie
