Thanks Keith! Looks like a combo of E and C6 packs from GHS, so that makes things easy. And for the suggestions, I'll look them up.

Bob, thanks, I saw that chart, but being that mine fell between ...

Hi all, I purchased a Diana a while back (I've never played lap steel before). Was on this forum asking for advice about finding someone to set it up... ended up taking it in to a recommended shop, b ...

If you want to wait until you've settled on your tuning before getting the work done, another option is to raise the strings that are too low by using aluminum foil in the nut slots. You just need to ...

I'd suggest that before you have any nut work done, settle on a tuning and a string set for that tuning before you have it dialed in. Different tunings need different gauges and even in pre packaged s ...

Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll give Blackie Taylor a call and see if they can work on it for me. Would hate to do more damage.

@joe, it's a little rough, and I'm sure I overpaid fo ...

Hi all... so, I just got my Oahu Diana in that I ordered last week. I'm brand new to lap steel, but it seems off. The string heights aren't level... are they supposed to be?

No to the Amplug. I really like the Roland Micro Cube GX with good headphones.

Thanks, I figured the Amplug wasn't going to cut it. So now that I'm looking at these little busking amps, I'm stuck ...

Alexandre,

This amp sounds amazing with headphones. That is primarily how I use it.

What makes it really practical as a headphone amp is the ability to mix the aux and guitar volumes independent ...

Roland mobile cube. It's great for playing with acoustic players "unplugged." Batteries last forever. Nice stereo sound. Independent aux in and instrument volume controls. Pretty much ideal ...

I'd really think an amp sim like a Line 6 PoD would be better than just a headphone amp. There are a bazillion variations on that theme - Line 6, Behringer, Fender Mustang, Digitech, Zoom...

You c ...

Hi all, just ordered my first lap steel a couple of days ago (still waiting for it to arrive). Been a guitar player for a while, but this will be my first foray into "steel." I was wonderi ...
