An Introduction to Lap Steel Guitar with Michael Messer

[MichaelMesserMusic]

Hi StefanB2112, the strings on a lap steel guitar usually do have wider spacing than on a standard electric, but you can still play with standard string spacing. If you are using a standard electric guitar, try getting a nut raiser to fit over the nut and that will have better string spacing. Best wishes,

Michael

are the strings on a lap steel have the same spacing as a standard electric guitar ?

The wood-bodied Tricone was built ten years ago by Mike Lewis (Fine Resophonic Guitars) in Paris, France.
