It is a biscuit resonator. Thanks for the National pics and info. It does the Blues really well. Love the sound.

Erv, maybe these pics will help to see what is going on in there.

Thanks, Jim. I thought the same thing when I saw it hanging on the wall in the shop.

Every dog has its day. I guess. ðŸ˜Š

Thanks, Don. It sounds real nice. I am a lucky man. Have a good day!

My wife, daughter and I were out shopping yesterday in Door County, WI, and my wife noticed I really liked this handmade resonator lap steel guitar that was hanging on the wall in the music store we v ...

I'm thinking this amp is worth a try. I listened to the video and it sounds good. I have not tried it personally but the amp gets good reviews.

I only had to replace the tuners on mine. The electronics are fine for now at least. I may change the pickup at some point.

Very cool, Tom. Have fun!

I have the same issue wit( that low B, Kris. Iâ€™ve tried the double-low-G tuning on squareneck reso, but Iâ€™m trying to learn Dobro G tuning, B and all.

For lap steel, though, I ended u ...

Allan,

I see how that works for Blues jamming. It's Open D with the low A raised up to a C. Skip that string and everything is the same as playing Open D. Cool!

I use this site for Dobro/Lapsteel instruction info: www.lwtstreaming.com

It isn't free but is worth the money IMO.

A new set of strings made all of the difference. The Powerslide plays like a dream and the tonal options available are vast.

Thanks for sharing, Bill. I would like to build a lap steel at some point. Nice work!

Hi David,

Thanks for the information. The strings that are on the Powerslide currently have to go. I have a set of Stringjoy strings that's close to the gauges you are using. I'll give them a spin. ...

I just picked up a used Powerslide. Powerslide users, what gauge strings do you all use on your Powerslide for the various open tunings?

Thanks!

This is newer but super cool.

Very nice playing!

I like high G tuning like this:GGDGBD

The low B string always seems to get in the way for me. It could be that I'm new to the instrument.

Works great for power chords for Blues/Rock music.

[quote="Kris, thanks for the comment. Glad you decided to play lap steel. The little steel you selected will give you a learning start, and you can always update to a different steel later, if yo ...

I don't post here too often, but I read threads now and then. This one caught my interest.

The title of the thread said 'most valuable' and not just 'valuable' so I thought mine qualified.

I bought this one not too long ago. Had to replace the tuners since one broke. Works for me, but I don't know any better Wink

This is all I have in the lap steel department. I'm new to the instrument. I've been playing guitar for many years, and Larkin Poe pushed my interest in lap steel over the edge, since I could not quit ...
