AJ's playing is unique, and I think, in years to come, the 8 string Gold Tone will become a classic. My Tonemaster is not nearly as well made.

Hi David
I have a Ohau Diana which is the same basic guitar as the Tonemaster, I think. Those old pickups are powerfull and sound so good. The Goldtone is a copy of the Ohau.

AJ play's around the Atlanta area and I hope to see him soon.

would not be useful unless your wanting to play that type of music, a lap steel demo should be straight forward no effects at all, i ran into this problem when first looking at the lap steel, you can take a two by four with pickup and strings with effects and make it sound good, you need to demo the sound of the steel not the effects

Hi JW the 2nd video is without effects.

Actually I like to hear a lap steel played both straight (no effects) and with effects. Sometimes a pickup sounds not so great by itself, but much better with effects.

Of course, then you get into the discussion of what effects are most appropriate.

In any case, I would agree that a plain recording of the guitar makes more sense.

AJ is a Sacred Steeler, so what he's doing makes sense for him. - Jack

I like the steel playing on the Emmons website. It certainly casts their guitars in a good light.
