I've been using E13 (E C# B G# E D)with great results. Works real well for blues, swing and straight country. The most important thing though is captureing the "feel" for the blues and I truely beleiv ...

I would recomend one of the lower priced GFI pedal steel guitars. I have a ShoBud and a GFI and they are both set up the same. The GFI is light, easy to carry around, sounds great and plays great. It ...

I would go for any lap steel that sounds reasonably good. There's a lot of music you can get out of them and they take up very little room. ziggie (Don Zeitler)

I would check out an older model also. Just make sure it has some nice 'n' hot pickups on it. I would also suggest E13 tunning over the E tunning. E13 swings a whole lot more. I think you would enjoy ...

I was at Elderlys just this past tue. and seen this guitar. It didn't look bad for a homemade job. I wasn't interested in 10 strings, but if would've had 8 I would have snatched it up myself.
