Last week I came across a quite rare guitar: A friend of mine gave me his old lapsteel guitar for a while (since he doesn't play himself) and I took the chance to clean, restring and fooling around with it.
The guitar was build by "Framus" in the late 1950's right in the heart of Bavaria.
Here's a simple version of Remington Ride played through a Fender Blues Junior, no effects ...

Great stuff, Peter!

I didn't know a Framus steel could sound so good. That REALLY sounded FINE.

Nice playing Peter. I love the way these steels sound. Doug Beaumier plays one on this video. Sounds so good.

To be honest: I didn't expect it myself Wink
But as I said: No additional sound editing, just the Bali & the Fender

@Andrew, Dennis & Joachim: Glad, you liked it Very Happy

Sounds good, Peter. Thanks for posting that. The tone is somewhat similar to the Bali I had a few years ago. Mine have a slightly more "microphonic" sound, kind of a hollow, acoustic quality. I hear some of that in your Bali too. It's an interesting tone, nothing quite like it!
