click your string requirement below

We stock George L's strings for pedal steel guitar and dobro: 10-string sets and individual gauges. We have started stocking their guitar sets, too. I have personally used this manufacturer's strings for about 15 years and I have been very satisfied with them. http://www.georgels.com

Pedal Steel Guitar Sets
George L's make 10-string, stainless steel sets for E9 and C6, in two different gauges:

E9-Nashville		E9-Tension Balanced
F#	.013	F#	.012
D#	.015	D#	.016
G#	.011	G#	.011
E	.014	E	.013
B	.017	B	.018
G#	.020	G#	.022
F#	.026W	F#	.026W
E	.030W	E	.028W
D	.034W	D	.034W
B	.036W	B	.038W

C6-Nashville		C6-Tension Balanced
G	.012	G	.012
E	.014	E	.014
C	.017	C	.017
A	.020	A	.020
G	.024W	G	.026W
E	.030W	E	.030W
C	.036W	C	.036W
A	.042W	A	.042W
F	.054W	F	.058W
C	.070W	C	.079W

I believe that the Nashville gauges were originally set up for all-pull systems, like Sho-Buds, and the Tension Balanced were for push-pull systems, like the older Emmons guitars. I have always used a combination of the two gauges on my own steels, even though I have never owned a push-pull steel. On E9, I like a .017 (plain) 5th string, a .020 (plain) 6th string, and a .038W 10th string. I alternate between .011 and .0115 for the 3rd string. These are just my own preferences (as well as depending on what I have available in my Scott-Dixon seat!).

Some thoughts about string breakage

Any metallic object which is subjected to continuous friction and bending forces will break in time. 11-thou strings are no exception! In particular, think about the stress exerted on the strings attached to the A and B pedals - these strings sustain tremendous wear. Occasionally, the quality of a batch of strings may be below par, but this happens so rarely, that if you are experiencing a lot of string breakage, look at the following possible causes first, before you phone us up and blame the strings! (N.B. I usually manage to get about 25 hours use out of an 11-thou G# string before I change it).

Firstly, have you got the correct gauge string for the job? Then, make sure you allow enough length of string 'slack', so that you can get many windings around the machine-head post - especially with the thinner, unwound strings. Ensure that the final turn of the machine-head does not make the string lie across the hole in the post. Check your bridge for wear - it should be as smooth as possible - personally, I help the thinner strings across the bridge with a fine layer of Teflon-based lubricant - I find this increases string life. Check your roller-nuts for ease of roll.

If all these things check out O.K., your guitar may need setting up - there may be some unnecessary jerking of the bridge fingers when the pedals are depressed.

If you still get problems with .011 strings, after checking all the above, you may wish to try .0115 instead. The extra half-thou really does make a difference. The price is the same!

VOLUME PEDALS
by Goodrich

Model 120
This pedal has long been a favourite of the professionals because of its simplicity and dependability, and because it does what it's supposed to do: control volume smoothly and quietly. Use either output for driving one amp. Has twp outputs for driving two amps or two channels of one amp.
£119.95

Goodrich 120

Model L120
This is like the model 120, except that it has a low profile - 5.7 cm from floor to foot-rest, compared to 7 cm for the model 120. Ideal for a steel player with long legs!
£129.95

Goodrich L120

Model LDR-2 NO POT! NO BATTERY! NO RACK OR PINIONS! NO INTERNAL MOVING PARTS! EXTREMELY QUIET AND DISTORTION-FREE NO TONAL CHANGE from FULL OFF to FULL ON RF filtering built in Adjustable tensioning, so setting maintained when foot removed Mains adaptor included, with various sockets £229.95 This is "the way forward" in my view. There's absolutely no colouring of tone from full off to full on. I'm very pleased with my new LDR2" - Gerry Hogan	Goodrich LDR-2	UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PEDAL HAS CURRENTLY BEEN DISCONTINUED, (as of 1 JAN 2007). YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE HILTON ME262-B (see below) THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE!

by Keith Hilton

This pedal has no pot, and it is not a light-beam pedal. This is new technology that works like the infra-red scanner on the cash register at the supermarket.

3/8" lower than the equivalent pedal from Hilton's competition!

NEW DESIGN!
Now comes fitted with USA to UK voltage converter and removable cable.

£214.95

"With this pedal you will get a far better sound than with your old pot pedal" - Gerry Hogan

"Very pleased with it, no tone loss whatsoever." - PB, Middlesex

"Fantastic pedal! No more pots!" - PL, Manchester

Hilton ME262-B

A low-profile version, the L-ME262-B, the same height as the lowest height pedal available from Hilton's competition, is available at £229.95

REASON FOR DELAY
IN RE-STOCKING

I spoke to Keith on Friday, 16 May. He has been in hospital for a serious operation. When he came out, he caught 'flu! He is now getting back on top of his orders. He asked us to be patient for a little while longer! Thanks, to all who are waiting for the best pedal currently available!

George L's cables have been honoured by every major publication in the musical industry (Gerry Hogan can vouch for a write-up they received in "Guitarist Magazine" - Europe's leading guitar players' mag - in 1987, "when Neville Martyn, the then editor, wrote a glowing review, after trying one of my leads at a BBC radio recording session!"); they have received numerous awards, and continue to do so. Their products and cables are used by the world’s top musicians and recording studios.

Now YOU can have that CLEAN, CLEAR SOUND that you have heard on countless recordings. Regardless of style, genre, instrument or equipment GEORGE L’s cable delivers the clarity you have been craving.

"I've been using this cable and George L's solderless plugs for well over 20 years. Some of my leads are originals from my first batch, and some of these have never needed fixing in all that time!" - Gerry Hogan

Instructions for Assembling George L's Cable & Plugs

Straight Plugs Assembly:

DO NOT STRIP CABLE.
Cut at right-angles with a sharp instrument. Make it straight and clean. An angled cut will not do!
Back set screw out, far enough to allow cable to pass.
Put cable into plug's opening, and push cable on to the needle (at bottom of plug's opening). This is your hot connection.
Tighten set screw down to touch the cable. Then tighten the screw 1 1/2 to 2 rotations. This is the earth (ground) connection.

Right Angle Plugs Assembly:

DO NOT STRIP CABLE.
Cut with a sharp instrument. Make it straight and clean.
Remove cap from right angle plug
Push cable onto the needle. DO NOT FORCE, and HOLD CABLE WITH YOUR THUMB.
Bend cable enough (into inlet gap) to start screwing the cap back on. Let the twisting of the cap bring the cable down.
Screw cap down completely to create the earth (ground).

TONE BARS

7/8" x 10-string plain
15/16" x 10-string plain
1" x 10-string plain
Jerry Byrd 6- or 8-string

The new John Hughey 10-string bar

John Hughey tone bar:
15/16" - 10- or 12-string bar -
same weight as 7/8" bar! However, it gives the same "fatter" sound as a normal 15/16" bar!
(Also available as 7/8", for those more used to this size).

John himself uses the 12-string version, which I can order specially, if required.

Probably the best bars in the world!

BJS bars are the ultimate in chrome-plated steel guitar bars. Bill Stroud, who is a fine steel guitarist and a machinist with over 30 years machine shop experience, realized there was a great need for a superior steel guitar bar. Being a good musician himself, Bill knew what this bar should be to satisfy the needs of the top professionals. As a machinist, Bill had the ability and experience needed to create such a bar. So after many years of research, Bill has perfected what we believe to be the finest steel guitar bar available on the market today, and this is substantiated by its use and endorsement by so many of the top steel guitarists.

Advantages and Features of ALL BJS bars.

Heat Treated
Hard Chrome Finish (will not scratch, flake or chip)
Recessed End For Easy Standing and Bar Slanting
Virtually no String Noise or Bar Drag
The Ultimate in Sustain

SEATS
by Quik-lok

Do you realise how important it is to sit at the correct height when playing pedal steel guitar?

If you're too low or too high, you'll never get the correct angle of attack with your picking hand or your bar hand. You'll also suffer much worse problems with your back than correctly seated pedal steel players do!

Here are some very cost-effective seats to help you:
