bought a lap steel off ebay - pictures looked good - arrived friday going back monday - really disappointed - next purchased will be from guitar forum - members seem to be more honest, sincere
i'm just a learner who loves steel music - by the way i'm 75 years young - will be asking more questions later

I am 67 and just started the lap about 8 mos ago.I am using an 8 string tuned to C6 high G.I have customized my guitar with a better pu etc.. Lots of luck.This forum has a lot of good deals on gret equipment..Carl 
Now have a SX 6 string lap in G,.A Tele plus telecaster, Larrivee acoustic.Also have a Fender resonator guitar with new Quarterman cone and spider,and an Allan tailpiece.Playing through a Fender Super Champ XD,using a little delay on the amp and a Harmonix Holy Grail Echo pedal,set on Hall turned to about 1pm.Just got a Fender Dual 6 Stringmaster style. Bought a Yamaha FGX5 Recently and love it.
