Bill, I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't get a chance to talk to either Kyle or Reece very much. They were very busy with customers. I can't even explain the workings of the guitars. There were no prices posted and the place was so crowded I could hardly get the shots I did and I was called away on business very quickly. I've tried to call Reece several times on his cell but I haven't reached him yet. Price was one of the things I wanted to discuss. I can tell you that the smaller guitar can be had in 6,8 strings, and possibly 10 string....I'm not sure about that.

SuperSlide 6 list - $1695.00 show price - $1395.00 can have 7 or 8 strings with kit.
SuperSlide 10 list $1895.00 show price - $16.95 - 9 - 12 strings with kit.
SuperSlide 12 $1995.00 list show $1795.00
They all have 3 sockets for legs and an aluminum arm that comes out of the side for stand up playing.
I'll post photos when I return.[This message was edited by HowardR on 05 March 2005 at 12:25 PM.] |

The spring is for the aluminum arm. There's a button near the upper left side bout. When you depress the button, you then manually open the arm. When pressed again, retracts the arm.
Like a reverse switchblade. It appeals to us New Yawkers.....  |

| Sounds like a Swiss Army Lap Steel. Does it come with a toothpick? |

The arm accepts an attachment that allows the player to stand up with a strap to play. Sage Harmos coined his "The Dance Bar."
There will also be a wireless system for it and a stand that will accomodate the steel, and/or steels with a "quick connect" system.
Toothpick is optional, but not interchangable.  They will also make custom left handed toothpicks at no extra charge.
