First question, does anyone know if Replogle is still producing cones? I’ve tried emailing him but no response. I believe Mike used to hangout here. As far as I know he’s about the only manufacturer of a 10.5” biscuit cone that’s a drop in replacement for an OMI Dobro but it’s shown out on stock for a long while.
Second question, setting up a Les Paul for slide. Will it be enough to simply raise the tun-o-matic or will I have to deepen the pockets on the individual saddles to account for the radiused fretboard?
I keep in occasional contact with Mike Replogle. I will see if I can get a hold of him for you.
The Les Paul question is out of my league. I'm a lap style dobro (as are the majority here) and steel player who dabbles in bottleneck slide pretty rarely.
Thank you
I just purchased a Cone from him
You don't want to mess with the saddles on the bridge, just raise the whole thing a little, you may want to loosen the truss rod a bit too. Make note of how much you move stuff so you can put it back where it was if you want.
