With all of the re-writings of history by some of the new comers about the electric Hawaiian steel guitar......
is it possible that one day, instead of being recognized as an electric Hawaiian Steel Guitar, like in the beginning, that it might one day be called.....
a brass guitar; an aluminum guitar; a Bakelite guitar; a ceramic guitar; a zirconia guitar or possibly a glass guitar?
The tone bar for decades is what gave it's name to the Hawaiian STEEL GUITAR.
It's sorta like folks that now call any steel guitar other than a pedal steel guitar.......a lap steel, table steel, or whatever, even if its a well known vintage GIBSON, Rickenbacher or Fender.

As William Shakespeare once said:
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet..."
