For me, I finally found the 'tone' that I like with my U-12 and Nashville 1000. It took many years to find, but the right hand is key also. It's funny how 'tone' changes with the ever so slightest change regarding where you pluck the strings... :whoa:

Hey Ted, I have an SX, and I like it, a lot! I also built my own lap steel and had fun doing it. My SX is C6 tuning and my DIY steel which you can see at https://youtu.be/_4wT47G_hi0 is Open D tuning. I'm sure you'll figure it all out with the great guys on this forum!

A big THANK YOU for your hard work and dedication! Without you and this forum, I'd have given up on steel 20+ years ago. Enjoy your time off and stay well sir!
