| First posting for me.I've had my Artisan for a few months and am enjoying the challenge.I mess around on guitar with our "cool" pastor and a bunch of friends, some skilled some learning.I hope to show some improvement by the end of our long winter in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's nice to see other Michiganders on the Forum. My inspiration for lap steel comes from a band based out of Lansing, Mi. called Steppin In It. Their site is http://www.steppininit.com/ Thanks for all the useful information on the Forum. |

Hey Lee, welcome to the forum! Thanks for the link-- that's a very cool versatile band. One of the brothers (Joe?) is really "slidin' in it" too: trombone, dobro, steel. Does a nice job on his Fender Dual Pro on Bob Will's "Nobody's Sweetheart", and singing lead to boot...
Stick around, you'll learn a lot. Just remember to spend at least as much time playing your steel as hanging out here!  --Steve |

| And now the question everybody wants to ask: Is it a black one? |

| It's a blue one. It matches my blue Ibanez acoustic guitar. I don't have a black one to compare it to and I still have the original strings on, but it sounds fine to me. No one has posted anything about the nut on the Artisan though. Has anyone tried to replace the original wood one? |

Welcome to the Forum, Lee. I have a good friend that is a former UPer. He moved here from Calumet in the early 1960's.
