I think this guy is a member here, but I also think his name Lee Jones might be a pretty common name? Does anyone know anything thing about the lapsteel he is playing? I never saw one like it. I also don't see any control knobs and not sure what kind of bridge and pickup he has on there. He did a nice job on Sleepwalk.

In one of the comments Lee replied:
"I co-built this steel. I designed it to look like a canoe paddle. It's made of Hawaiian koa wood. I had a pickup made by Lindy Fralin. I had a professional woodworker do the woodwork - Claude Higa of Honolulu Hawaii. I recently added the abalone inlay and binding on the neck."
