bought a lap steel off ebay - pictures looked good - arrived friday going back monday - really disappointed - next purchased will be from guitar forum - members seem to be more honest, sincere
i'm just a learner who loves steel music - by the way i'm 75 years young - will be asking more questions later

Do you have a volume pedal?,it helps with expression once you get the hang of it.There is lots of free lessons for the lap on YOUTUBE,check it out.That will get you going w/ practise practise practise, did i say practise :lol: .All the best in your learning..
