  • Yet again, superb playing. But I was curious: in looking at lapsteels of late, I've noticed there would appear to be 2 general types available: the pretty cheap, entry level ones (Eastwood, SX, Rogue, Recording King, Gretsch) with many reported issues, and 2) the very expensive ones, with precious little in between. (I was looking at the Eastwood, but I just don't know). Do you have any recommendations for a good, solid, entry level lap steel- one that might not frustrate in terms of quality?

  • @hammill444 This is a good question... I have not tried too many of the newer entry level lap steel models. The one I am playing is a 1955 Fender that I really like a lot. I'd say that if you are serious about playing the lap steel then I would spend the extra money and get a good one so the frustration is kept to a minimum and you can focus on playing. Please let me know which model you buy..!! -Billy

  • Nice!

  • @lighteningboy Thank you..!! -Billy

  • Thanks so much for your advice. I am really looking forward to learning the steel

  • @hokiangasinger Yeah...it's a fun instrument. My biggest challenge is playing in tune and that is dependent on having a good ear to begin with and being able to hear yourself clearly on gigs so you can play in tune. Honky Tonkin"..!!! -Billy

  • cool!!

  • great tuning, i use it all the time.

  • Is this lap steel similiar to the most recently available Fender lap steel? Looks like a reissue but I've just started spotting them on Amazon and whatnot.

  • You are awesome!

  • Billy, what tuning do you have on that giutar? Oops, I hear you now.  I didn't have the volumn up. :)

  • I've played the guitar since i was about 12 years old, and i'm 30 now. I'm beginning to like the country/rock style a lot more. My question (to anyone who would like to answer) Is it difficult to learn how to play the lap steel guitar?

  • Great playing. Been a lng whiles since I ran across an electric lap steel.
