Bill, Did you notice if it has sockets for legs on the bottom? It appears to have a storage spot for legs in the case.

Really neat looking lap steel, but a bit pricey for me. At least you get free shipping though.

I've never seen one with legs. In the Emmons catalogs of the 1970s it was listed as an 8-string lap steel.

Here are some pictures of one that was on eBay a while back:

Nice Mahogony. Probably sounds good. But not $3200.00 good unless you're a dentist who plays steel in your spare time.

i believe i bought that other one- it sounds quite great, extremely resonant, and extreme variations in tone are available from the tone pot. It was $500, but lacked a case. There are no leg sockets. The case must account for the additional $2700.
