Wow. We are so excited about the Dual Lever bending system on our LS lap steel guitars! We currently have four in-stock. See links below for videos where Zane King and Jake Clayton are demonstrating this fantastic instrument, which gives you pedal steel sounds without all the pedals and without all the weight. Toss it in the gig bag and carry it over your shoulder! Oh, and did we mention legs? Great for utility players. Walk right up with your guitar strapped on and wail away with some steel licks. Truly amazing lap steel...from the hands and minds that brought you Sho-Bud Pedal Steel Guitars.
The EDGE patented Dual Bending system gives you FOUR chords without ever moving the bar!
Tuning: Open E (E-B-G#-E-B-E)
Open: I chord
Pedal 1 down: IV chord (same as A+B on steel)
Pedal 2 down: minor
Pedals 1 & 2 down: 7th
So many options with these combinations!
Order and more info on our website. Mention that you saw it on the forum under Comments: https://www.jacksonsteelguitar.com/product/slideking-lap-steel-dual-levers/
$2200
Available Now:

NOTE: Other tunings MAY be accommodated, but there are limitations. Example, high string cannot be a G pulling to a G#...the string will break. We strongly recommend the E tuning. Email with questions.
Other colors available. Also available in 8-string.
Thanks!
Dawn

David made me a prototype double bender guitar last year and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now you can play pedal steel in your recliner. With the improvement, they made the double bender is the essence of the pedal steel guitar.
Dawn could you spell out how the changes work? |

This is incredible! I love the idea of palm benders on a lap steel but I've never had much luck with them staying in tune.
I'll be saving up for one of these! |

From what i can see,this appears to be the most intelligently and player friendly designed bender system.
I would call these "wrist" pedals,and from my experience,that is what they need to be.
I had a set of " palm " pedals on a lap steel.
After a month i sold em; i couldnt use em and pick a lick.I see videos of guys on you tube playing some purty stuff with the same brand i had.
Not me.
I believe Jackson got it right.... |

Hi Dawn,
I have a couple of questions about the SlideKing LS 6:
What is the string spacing on these steels?
Do you take trade-in?
And I have to ask, is the Sho~Bud amp
part of the deal?
Thanks,
Greg |

Thanks for the comments and questions.
Paul, glad you are liking yours! See pedal setup/changes chart.
Jeremy, these hold their tune incredibly well...after lots of playing or just sitting around. We have had nothing but positive experience and feedback on that.
Michael, thanks! We've had great feedback on the lever positioning too.
And Greg, string spacing is 7/16". We sometimes take trade-ins. PM me with what you are thinking. We might throw in the Sho-Bud amp if you want to trade a new Tesla...I'm kinda keen on the '21 Model X. 
These are a real joy to play.

| The last time I visited the website, I believe 8 string was an option |

Yes, we have an 8-string option as well. Just email me with your thoughts on what pedal setup you would want and we can discuss.
