Sweet!

Here sis a great example of a very good lap steel at a very good price in the for sale section of the forum... and it is in your price range> http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=271893

Check out the Fender Mustang line... I use the Mustang 1 which I got for less than $100 0n Ebay but even brand new they aren't a lot more. Plenty of built in effects and output.

Stumbled across this on youtube and all I can say is wahoo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgyvrjEWr5Y

Mark, That deal on Craig's list sounds like a no brainer and I'm sure you'd be able to get you money back later on if you want to go for a better instrument. 2nd as for a stand I and many others here ...

Really enjoyed all of the songs you have on this site... sweet listening!!

Good looking Melbert and as a member of the Melbert family I say welcome and I know you'll be pleased for a long time to come.

Sweet! And I'm sure that it sounds sweet as well. Just wish my playing did sound so much like pulling on a cat's tail.

Dom,
I'm sure that it took a lot of umph to get up there, play live and be judged on the spot... but I for one applaud not only your effort but the performance.
Tom

Will lower the price to $340 and still include shipping but if it doesn't sell at that price I'll just keep her.

Congrats on your new Melbert. I have first hand knowledge of working with Bob and you are right he builds one fine guitar.

Still needs a new home. Will consider a offer but please no low balls!!
