Just got in the 8 str lap from Goldtone and
it's good like the 6. Same detail and good sound. If anyone is interested give me a call or email.731-668-7427
Thanks

If you're looking for pictures of the same instrument, Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan has posted some on their web site.

One would think that after all the feedback about the poor placement of the knobs they would have found a way to correct that. Someone is not listening... |

I'm pretty sure it's been covered before, but what kind of pickup is underneath that guard? |

The pickup on the 6-string version is similar to a P-90, but a little wider.

I would like to hear a sound sample from someone who owns one of these. If the sound is right, this would seem to be a good value. It certainly is a nice looking guitar,with what appears to be quality manufacturing. |

I've played the 6 stringer and it's a nice guitar. The 8 string looks to be an excellent value. |

An 8 string lap steel guitar for less than $500. is definitly a bargain, when many similar guitars are about twice the price.
I have seen many good comments about Gold Tone lap steel guitars |

There are both 6 and 8 string versions of Gold Tones on sale for 25% off list at McCabes in Santa Monica, CA. At least they were about a week ago when I stopped by. Both are a little shopworn (or maybe, that's how they came off the boat from China?). NFI |
