LAKE, Ernest George "Keoki"

Friends of George "Keoki" Lake,

It is with great sadness to inform you that, Keoki Lake passed away quietly about 6:30pm this evening.

I'll post the obituary here when it is available ...

Has anyone here thought of using a Roland VG8, or VG88 or VG99 on their lap steels. I used a VG8 when I was touring and needed to travel light. It was great for open tunings and clean, but I couldn't ...

Hi all, one of our fellow forum member is having a birthday on March 16th. George Keoki Lake is going to be 83 years young.

The reason for mentioning this today is, we had a surprise birthday/City ...

That was very cool. I really like the fact that he put his slide in the sound hole as not to lose it! Man, I wish I could find a way to get manufacturers to give these musicians some good gear! Come o ...

Isn't he a real looker? His beautiful wife Mary keeps him tolerable! Just joking!!! He is in fact my Hawaiian Lapsteel teacher and a fantastic one at that! Patient and understanding of my short coming ...

Hello all, just a quick question if anyone has ever used low impedance pickup on their lapsteels before. I've been reading the Les Paul books and came across that he got his super clean sound from the ...

George, you should just throw that Canopus my way. It will have a good home if you did decide to leave it at my house!!! Cool

Hey George, glad to hear that the 6th annual steel guitar show was a success, I'm hoping that you'll be able to post some pics or maybe you'll upload some video to Youtube?

Congrats on the show,

Isn't my lap steel teacher smart? George Keoki Lake is trying his best to teach me all the Jedi secrets of that tuning. Slowly and painfully I might add on his behalf!

Hi all, I don't want this to seem like spam, but it's my first time to Honolulu and would like some help with things to see and do? Like the topic asks are things I'm interested in,
Thanks for your ...

I got the exact same guitar, a D-8. I love it. It was my first steel. Wow was white the only color they used back then. I would love to know more about Guyatone steels. Just my 2 cents.

Hi all I have the chance of going to Argentina, I leave on July 19 and will be there for a couple of weeks. I'll be in Comodoro Rivadavia. Has anyone been and have some advice to share? Any tips about ...

Hey James, that's what I kind of figured. I'm going to try them near the bridge or close to it. In your experience, will the sound be super trebly?
Just curious. Maybe I should just splurge on those ...

Sorry I didn't include that tidbit of information, they are all round necks. I play them all in the Spanish manner and not lap style.
Thanks again,
Laurent

Hi guys I also got a couple of those pickups that you were talking about and I finally received my package yesterday. I opened it up and those pickups sure are slim, but when I tried to place them und ...

Thanks again for the info.
I'm going to try them as well,
Laurent

Which model did you order? I noticed that there is the slim humbucker which mounts to the neck with the supplied bracket or there is the first one. I'm asking because I use resonators and would like t ...

Hi guys, sorry for not getting back with a pic yet, I've been gigging all weekend and this morning had to be at work for 6:00am, very tired. Promise to post a pic and we'll solve this mystery.
Thanks ...

Hi all, Quick question for the know-how people. I'm fairly new to lap steel and I got myself a Guyatone D8 lap steel and I was wondering if there is any kind of adjustment that I can do to lower the p ...

Thanks Don, sometime during your post and me checking the forum, George was kind enough to send me an e-mail.
Cheers

Hi all, I'm fairly new to the forum and to lap steel in general. I was looking for a teacher in my area that might be able to get me on my way. Just curious if there are any here on the forum.
Thank ...
