Its all still a mystery to most folks. I kind of like that.
Don, I agree with you. It's a good thing that steel guitar isn't as popular as Spanish guitars. Who would want every six string guitar banger playing steel. It seems only the better guitar players have the patience___and migrate to steel guitar.

It's kinda' like (for the most part) keep the integrity of the neighborhood as "orderly" as possible. And so far, I'm just like Will Rogers, I've never met a steeler I didn't like.

Hay Bob ! I think Gene Jones nailed it as to when things changed from Hawaiian to just steel !! I was going through some old sheet music and happened to think of your question , so I looked for the transition in what the publishers were calling it ,
here is what I come up with .

Hawaiian guitar solos
Amsco music Pub.
copyright MCMXLVI maybe you can read Roman numerals { I cant }

Nick Manoloff's Hawaiian guitar method
copyright 1936

Oaha Publishing
Christmas songs Hawaiian Guitar
copyright 1931

Here is were Oaha Publishing changed from Hawaiian to Electric Steel Guitar . On a copy of " Panhandle Rag " Published by Oahu Pub. the copy right was 1949 . So Gene is correct in saying the change was between 45 and 50
