Anyone know what brand of lap steel that Tom uses on Dwight Yoakum's albums?

Every time I've seen Tom play a lap steel it was an old Rick bakelite 7 stringer. Maybe 6 string, but I think it was 7. Tom is a tone monster if there ever was one. What you heard was likely his old Rick bakelite thru his old Fender Bassman with a 15" JBL. I'm just guessing, but I know he really loves that rig. It's the amp that he did "Together Again" on, but soon after that song, Leo Fender modded the amp by removing the 4-10"s and adding a single 15" JBL D130, and he also removed the tweed and tolexed it in black. Also at some point after that, reverb was also added.
