I have been a musician for over 25 years and decided to pick up playing lap steel. I didn't want to spend a lot of money if it ended up being something I didn't enjoy and at this price there wasn't much risk. Unlike the other reviewers mine showed up in perfect working order. No scratches or ...

@FishyMcNuggets Hi Ken - The Lap King and the National are very different guitars, both great in their individual ways - the obvious advantage with the Lap King is that it is a top-notch modern instrument, reliable for gigging etc. I love the old New Yorkers but you never know when a 70+ year old electronic component decides to call it a day, so for gigging I only use the Lap Kings.
yikes, always liked lap steel guitar. the inhuman sustain and quirk. ordered one today and this is the extent of my research thus far hahaha. I've got my work cut out for me.
@ganjaking187 G minor: DGDGBbD, low to high. I think I had tuned up to Ab minor on that video, but it's the G minor shape. Glad you like it - I use that tuning most of the time.
Thanks for getting back to me! Jason Lollar warned me that the Charlie Christians are naturally a bit more bassy but are also a bit noisy. Have you found this? I am trying to decide between the Charlie and the Supro for my lap steel.

Once again, great playing, great tunes and a great guitar.
I don't think its sound is to big for your amp,
instead I would start with removing all the tone-bars from your amp :-)
