A friend inherited a lap steel and would like to know more about it. I can't get a photo of it just yet, but I can describe it. It has no brand name or logo. It's black in the center part of the body with two white sections added, one on each side. Each of those are rounded on the ends. It has 6 strings, and at some point it had a bridge cover. The key head is rounded to a slight point. If you have one that fits that description, could you post a photo of it, and we should be able to figure from there. I'm guessing it could be made by Valco or maybe Supro. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Tommy......

Yes, I know what you mean. But, I won't get a chance to do that for quite some time. I was hoping someone else could post a photo of theirs, and I could say, wow! that's it. Thanks again, Tommy.......

It sounds like a National (Valco), but without pictures it's impossible to say for sure.

Sounds like a National Dynamic as seen in this thread:

Thanks for the responses, but it's not a National. I guess I'll have to wait until I can post a photo. Thanks, Tommy......
