| O.K. folks,I am going to try to explain this steel guitar that I saw last night in an old music barn. First it look like a lap steel, then it was taken out of the wooden case and this thing has legs folded under the body.Now,I notice that the old steel has two pedels and they were located at the right end of the steel running parallel with the strings. One pedel was longer than the other and they were hooked up by steel cables.The notations were mixed up with clubs,diamonds,hearts,stars,ect.There is a cover plate over the bridge. To pull back the cover plate will allow acess to fine tuning screws for the pedel pulls.I could not see a name. The pickup has two nobs and the guitar has six strings I was told that tis guitar was used on early T.V..Any help would be nice. I bet some of you older guys has played a guitar like one. Thanks for your time.-----Rick Worley |
