Spencer brought his Supro lap steel to Dan Erlewine to have some scratchy control posts fixed.
Spencer was here last week with an ailing lap steel: a Supro Jet Airlinermodel from 1960. Here’s what he said:
“These control pots are scratchy and hard to turn, and the tone is lackluster. Can you can fix them without changing the vintage parts?”
Spencer and Dan also fixed another guitar together. You can watch the video below
Songwriter and Performer Spencer Bohren stops by to visit his old pal, Dan Erlewine. Spencer's Gibson Southern Jumbo guitar plays in tune but it won't stay in tune. Dan's got a way to fix that and in return Spencer teaches him how to play "Canned Heat Blues" a 1920's song by Tommy Johnson.
