Thanks Jason and Tom. The pickup is a single coil, black, with non-adjustable poles. I think it's pre-P-90.
There were two versions of the Century 6 lap steel. The earlier version, about 1948 to '54, black finish and PU as described above. About 1955 Gibson changed the look of the Century 6, salmon finish, P-90 soapbar PU.

Thanks Doug, so its probably one of the six string versions like was found on the Console Grand 8.Doug Beaumier wrote:... The pickup is a single coil, black, with non-adjustable poles. I think it's pre-P-90...
I've used a couple of Lollars 8 string reproductions and they have that same sweet voice. In a recent chat with Jason, he said that although its not on his site, he does do the 6 string reproduction too.

Doug, That was great. You certainly give us beginners something to aspire to. If you ever publish the TABs for that please let me know. Henry

That was pretty cool, Doug. Brought back some memories, too. That was the first tune I learned on six-string (not steel), back about 1962. There was an instrumental version by Lawrence Welk that was popular around that time, with Neil LeVang on guitar, I believe. Kind of Duane Eddy style, IIRC.
Nice work.

Thanks Alan, I appreciate your kind comments. Yes, I'd like to include this song in a future book/CD... not sure when that would be though. It takes me about five months to complete a book and CDs, and I'm booked solid until after Labor Day, so it won't be anytime soon.
As far as E tuning materials... check the Forum catalog for some E13 instruction. There may be some E tuning tab out there, I don't know. thanks again.

That's a great video. I would also be interested in purchasing a tab of your arrangement. Despite being new to steel, I would prefer that you not make the solo easier. I like a challenge. I also plan on purchasing your C6 book soon. Thanks for posting the video.
