| No opinions apparently to my post, so I deleted it. I decided to go with the Jersey Lightning, after finding an online coupon and getting the red one for $169.95 shipped from Musicians Friend. Sorry if I violated any kind of etiquette on the prior post. Thought there must be a reason it had almost a hundred views with no replies. |

I have had that happen too, so I don't think you should take it personally. Or perhaps its just that no one likes us.

Hi Jim. It's Monday, people are off to work and sometimes they can view but don't have time to respond, or they use their mobile phones (I do that a lot). You have to be patient.
There have been a number of threads which compared those models. You can do a search and I'm sure you'll find extensive commentary.

I think you're just expecting more out of the forum than you got. I didn't see the original posting, but if you were looking for inexpensive lap steels, the Rogue Jersey Lightning is one of the better ones available for under $200. I also like the Rondo SX series.
Do a search on the forum for many discussions of these and other models.

| Thanks for the replies guys. I did a lot of searching and reading after posting...(wrong order I know). After reading all the material, it seemed the lightning was the winner in the end although I was really leaning toward the RLS-1. Finding a $30 coupon code also helped the decision, as I like the red color better than the other options. If anyone else is interested they can pm me for the code...drops the price from $199 to $169 which is only $10 more than the other colors. And btw, Mike and Brad, thanks to both of you guys for fantastic websites, I've spent a good bit of time on both of them. |

| Thanks Doug, your video on youtube was a major factor in my choosing the lightning. I plan to re-string it and tune to c6. |

| I looked at your first post, but I couldn't think of much to say except "Most people with a Rogue are looking for a vintage Gibson, instead of vice-versa." Or something like that, which didn't really address the issue. |

| David...yeah I thought about that myself, however most of my reasons for wanting the new guitar have to do with the sentimental value of the Gibson. I also have some more structural repairs to do on the Gibson. |
