Hi. Its been a while since I posted here last time, but I lurk regularly. Actually, last time i posted was four years ago, and that ended up with Everett Cox building a lap steel for me and thus introducing me to the world of steelplaying.

I am fairly new at lapsteel playing, but have been getting more and more into it, especially acoustic, these last few months. I have, since I started, been playing with a biga$$ ernie ball bullet bar, that is way too heavy for my hands, because they simply does not sell steels or bars in northern Eu...

Me and a friend have been thinking about building a lap steel each, helping eachother out along the way.. We´re both amateurs when it comes to woodworking, electronics and such but we are gonna try it anyway.. Feel free to comment on our ideas, since Im sure you guys know a whole lot more than we do...

Hi ! I'm thinking about buying a Regal Triolian dobro, RD-3, I really like that vintagelook, but it would be stupid of me to buy it just because of that. So what I want to know is if it's a decent guitar, I've only played a couple of months, and if there's a difference since it's called a Triolian, ...

The guy told me that they had a George Benson Sign. PU, and that it would be great in such a guitar. He also told me it would ...

Hey Ted ! As I've seen, you spend quite a bit of time here, and because your e-mail is out of order, I thought that this would be the best way of reaching you. Maybe you read my mail from the other day, but if you didn't, I was just exploring the possibility of purchasing a lap steel from the 'speci...

Hi folks ! I'm a Jerry Douglas, North Mississippi Allstars, Corey Harris, Ben Harper, kinda guy. Just getting into lap-style dobro playing, and have in my search come across a number of brands producing squarenecks.
