| What have you found that works well for a regular shaped (Dickerson) 6 string lap. I'm looking for a gig bag, padded, lightweight etc. |

| I've found that baritone ukulele cases and bags work well for guitar shaped lap steels. |

I like the bags that Bob Allen provides with his Allen Melbert steel guitars. Perhaps he will sell one separately.

Todd,
My steel is pretty much straight and unlike a guitar's shape. I got the Morrell case because it looks more like the body shape of my steel.
Thanks anyway. |

James,
I think I'd have a heck of a time at the airport with an obvious gun case but it's too wide for me anyway.
Thanks.

Mike,
I used to use a rifle bag a lot and we were constantly flying back and forth to gigs and so forth...never got hassled.

Years ago, I bought a custom padded bag for a lap steel at Tuki Covers, a company that specializes in padded amp covers. I sent them measurements and a color choice, and I got a great bag in two weeks for about $90.00. I thought that was a nice bag, and the people at Tuki were great on the phone.

I use a tenor banjo gig bag for my Jerry Byrd frypan. It works fine. - Jack

| Well, shame on me for not reading the Morrell page better. Their cases are ONLY for their guitars and mine does not fit in it. Time for plan B. |

Mike... I have a brand new gig bag that came with the 8 string that Bob Allen just finished for me...I won't be using it because the new steel has legs -
I had a hard shell road case built to accommodate the guitar, the legs and all the other junk I need to play out...
PM me if you're interested...
