I am new to lap steels and dobro type guitars and am wondering if a Mesa Boogie DC3 would make a good choice for both. I have a chance to buy a nice low hour one. Thank you for any opinions.

Lol. How I ever made that error I don't know. Thanks for pointing it out.

Picture of the case and stuff.

I am selling my vintage Harmony Roy Smeck H7 Lap Steel. I believe it was made around the late 50's to early 60's. I have not had it long, but it plays well and looks all original. It comes with its original case and it has legs. It has the earlier P13 pickup, that I heard is a better pickup then the...
