I came across this pic of John Lennon in the studio and it looks like he is playing a lap steel. Sir Paul in the background on piano and maybe Yoko Ono onlooking.

He played lap on the song For You Blue, tuned to Open D7. It's in the Let It Be movie.

The boys had a grand time with the lap steel.

According to the lore I've read it's a Framus.
