I have a 6 string version oif that (it was my first lap steel), but I have a Rick Aiello creation as my pickup, I think it was called a Potbelly.

| Although I'm somewhat resistant to name names, I can say that I've read that they don't sound very good. It was on the internet, though, so I guess the grain of salt rule applies. |

Those Epiphones with the horseshoe pickup seemed to be a big hit with the players of the day: Bob Dunn, Noel Boggs, and I think maybe David Keili'i. I'd love to own one of those guitars.
Or did you mean the band? Some folks just can't get into this jazzy modern music the kids are listening to today. I like it myself...... |

| I've also read that jazzy modern music can lead to narcotic addiction and fornication. |

It's true, not to mention making your parents want to tear their hair out! 
I think I read somewhere that Joaquin Murphy's first Bigsby had horseshoes from the same manufacturer as the Epiphones. Does anyone know who made these? |
