A friend of mine inherited this steel homemade steel guitar, and brought it to me to try and resurrect.
I need to know what suggested tuning for each neck? I'm thinking an E tuning and a G tuning, but I have no experience on slide with anything but E9 on a Blanton I used to have.
Basically it is two six string necks on a 24 inch scale body.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

It does, but the spacing is as wide as a six string guitar, so I figure it was designed to be two separate necks. |

Yes. As far as I'm concerned, it is "The Lowrey". The same model as Garth Hudson played with The Band back in the old days.
I was looking for an organ to mess around on, and this one showed up, and I could not resist. Right now my toddler grandson plays on it more than I do, but I get to mess with it once in a while. (I'm more of an acoustic guitar guy now.)
Some day someone will show up that can really play it, and I'll make them take it home with them. |
