Chris Combs, best known from 'Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey,' plays a 6 string lap steel in standard tuning. Check out his solo 2017 release, 'Combsy' - His sound is, dare I say it, a bit Frisellian.

What, no Stella by Starlight?
I do love that song, Jim, but I don't think I could do it justice in this tuning (G B D F# A D).

It's not a humbucker; but Jason Lollar built me a Chicago Steel 6 with a Charlie Christian top plate that matched the original pickup. It did require some minor routing, and Jason included a plastic r ...
