I always thought this design would make a great lap steel. I almost called them last year to ask if they would ever consider making a lap version... that would be veeeery cool!!

Hi James! I don't think this is made by MG guitars in Germany. It appears to be an upgraded version of the Clearwater lap steel often seen on Ebay. Not a bad steel actually...cheap and good. The selle ...

Simply wicked!!!!

Yup! Stephen is right. This is just like the Clearwater I owned except for the bridge on the Clearwater is a more simple steel angle instead of the badass style here. Actually it's more of a copy of t ...

Shubb SP-2 gets my vote too! Very versatile... I don't do bullets...no matter what Meister Byrd played.

Cool! It looks like a triolian that just went through the Weight Watchers program... oh so svelt! Definitely $13 well spent!

Totally trippy! Dennis, I'm diggin' those quite a bit. If I ever get around to making my own lap steel, I'll definitely give you a ring. I think it would be cool to do the whole top of a guitar ...

I've been using the same model for a while now. Compact enough to fit in the gig bag accessories pocket with room to spare...and they are very stable...oh, and cheap too!!

Hi Chuck! I just sent you a PM.

Hi Dave! That is a very cool sounding axe! I was just wondering what it sounds like acoustically. I mean, does the resonator actually produce any volume or is it strictly there for the piezo tone? Cou ...

Yup! I got the email from Hans this afternoon and have been nearly drowning in my own drool ever since Razz

Sounds great Steve! But to be honest, I think you could make an ironing board sound good Laughing

I think that's the most beautiful tricone I've ever seen. I had a 1928 style one a few years back but I sold it... still kicking myself for that one Crying or Very sad

Oh the pain!! Laughing

I think I knocked something out when I fell hysterically from my chair... Hope you got a good lawyer! Very Happy

Hi Ray,

I'm glad it worked out. Like you said, it's a great deal at that price. I just measured the distance from the string to the pickups on mine and its about 9mm. I get tons of bass out of my ...

Hi Colin,

If you ever decide to do the loaner program in Europe, put my name at the top of the list. Those cruztones look so sweet! And from what I've heard they sound great as well. Very Happy

John,

This E to A is the factory setup and not what I would do with it. Granted, the multibender was designed to simulate basic pedal steel licks. Still you're right, that's a little too basic. I' ...

Steve,

Yes, I spoke with Duesenberg about two weeks ago and they told me the multibender strat replacement bridge is still available. They have had problems delivering them due to the untimely deat ...
