Thank you Jeff and CE Jackson.
CE....the Jedson Steel is very nice. It was my first steel and very inexpensive. The Jedson has legs also. I decided I wanted to play steel mainly on my lap so I started looking for other steels. Not sure even now why I did not just put the legs away and play the Jedson Lap Style.........a bit obvious really, I think the grey matter is not what it used to be ! |

I really enjoy your posts Mike! The Jedson is cool. I'm getting a lot from Doug Beaumier's books as well. |

Thank you Jim Joe and Doug.
I cannot say enough about Doug's books when I was trying to find my way around C6 Lap Steel guitar. Helped me so much.
Doug the little Jenson was very inexpensive and has a warm rich sound that I like. I am not sure that the blend wheel is working. I cannot perceive any change to the tone of the instrument. I think it might be in humbucker mode only! |
