This probably belongs in buy & sell but I noticed today that Elderly Instruments has two interesting steels in stock:
DICKERSON LAP STEEL GUITAR (1940's) grey pearloid covering, black and white painted-on fingerboard, volume control on treble side, pickup hidden under pearloid covering, Dickerson banner logo on headstock, all original except new tuners ....$225.00 buy
FENDER STRINGMASTER DOUBLE 8 (1955) dark brown finish, 26" scale, 2 pickups per neck (plastic covers), pickup blend control under each bridge cover, 2 push button (neck selection), master volume and tone, 4 telescoping legs, with tweed OHSC .....$950.00 buy
The Stringmaster looks a bit beat up but the dickerson looks pretty cool - anybody know how their pickups sound?

Andy I think that the price on both guitars is high. I like the sound of a good guitar be it old or new. But for very little more you can get a new guitar for the price of an useded one. Like a new car I like to put the first dent in it myself. Anew guitar will have the newest pickup and some builders well let you pick the brand of puickup and other acc. ect.
