Has anyone ever heard of, or seen, a 12 string acoustic lap steel (like a 12 string guitar, you know, string pairs)?

I think it would yield some interesting results....

Gee Stu, nice to see you over on this forum now also!

No help for you though...there's a 6 string C6 book by Scotty (sold by Mel Bay) but it uses the "3rd on top" not "5th on top"

There's one on ebay right now:

Now that's what I'm looking for! A good "around the house" lapsteel.

I'm interested in any opinions on old Oahu acoustic squareneck guitars. Sound? Things to look for? etc...

I use a "new" Princeton 65 or a Deluxe 112 (same amp with 80 watts instead of 65 watts). These are solid state amps with "dynamic" modelling. Pleanty of clean volume.

Anyone know who plays the "incidental" steel guitar backgrounds for the online warner bros. cartoon "Thomas Timberwolf"? [url=http://www.thomastimberwolf.com]www.thomastimberwolf.com

The tango St. Louis blues is the arrangement the Genial Hawaiians used.

Got to agree with you Bill!

You can determine scale length (usually) by
where the highest position markers are on
the neck.
22.5" --> 29th fret
24.5" --> 31st fret
26" --> 33rd fret

How true, how true.

I've also seen this done when the cones were partially crushed...for the same reason, to get enough saddle angle.

Needs a preamp. There is an "internal" model and an "external" model.

Highlander...there is nothing better!

8-string tricone was a special order from National. Very rare.

There's a good picture of one in the Tone Poems III CD book for track 8.

I also play Hammond. As I recall, this site sold converters for the leslie pin connector to guitar jack

All my old squarenecks are wood clad in metal. The wood portion is not connected and starts right where it would attach to the body.

Just spotted on ebay:

There is a "clean" channel and an "overdrive" channel. I run the clean channel and haven't had to turn it up over "3" yet to get the volume/tone I need. I'll also run the "overdrive" (which does br ...

In "larger" venues I use a 410 Blues DeVille...sounds great!
