The first lap steel I ever bought was that same model, but 8 strings.
A true So-Cal legend, Lowell Kiesel.

I have an early Kiesel lap steel guitar.

I was surprised when I went to the Carvin website yesterday to order more sound equipment and saw that Lowell had passed.

My condolences to the Kiesel family.
