| Very nice Doug. there is something I really like about single coil pickups on a lap steel guitar that are not about sustain. They reveal more about the players touch, tone and expressiveness much more than a modern sounding pickup with bags of sustain. I really like the sound of this guitar. It brings out all those qualities I mentioned above and showcases your abilities beautifully. Excellent stuff..... please do more. All the very best, Mike. |

I agree, Mike. Single coils "breathe" more than humbuckers, so when the player picks hard, the tone is more gritty. And when the player picks the strings close to the pickup the tone is quite a bit different from when he picks further away from the pickup. And picking the strings closer to the nut produces a thinner tone... with single coils. Not so with modern humbuckers IMO. I've owned a few modern lap steels and I was always frustrated by the "sameness" of the tone regardless of how hard or soft I picked the strings and where (along the string) I picked. Humbuckers do produce a strong, somewhat darker sound, and that's fine for some styles of playing, but I think something is lost in "the players touch, tone and expressiveness"... to quote you!

A lot of music on those six strings! Wow. You make me miss my old Magnatone that I let go for a song. Lightest lap steel ever - but great tone.
