Hey Everyone, Im looking for an affordable lap steel with decent electronics. Id prefer a humbucker in the neck position would be perfect. Any recommendations without breaking the bank? 6 or 8 string im down.

What's your actual budget? "Breaking the bank" means different things to different people.
The Asher Electro Hawaiian Junior is probably a good option if you can afford around $900 USD. They're shown as sold out on the Asher website, but seem to be available elsewhere.

In my option, Melbert (Bob Allen) is at the sweet spot of price and quality, custom built 6 or 8 starting under $500 with your choice of pickups. Excellent customer service too. http://www.melbert.guitars/home.html . Mike

| Melbert 8 string. Definitely. Also can be used a weapon of self defence if needed. Solidly built. Love mine. |
