Acoustic lap steel vs Weissenborn : The Steel Guitar Forum
2024年11月23日 · My current guitar is actually a Seagull 12-string that I converted to a 6-string lap steel after I heard that Kelly Joe Phelps played a Gibson flat top that he converted to a lap steel. I chose a 12-string for the beefier and wider neck and overall stronger construction to better withstand the increased tension of raised strings.

2024年2月16日 · In the meantime, I borrowed a lap steel from a buddy that had palm benders on two strings. After fooling with it for a month, I've reconsidered. For the stuff I play on lap steel I found it hard to work with the levers - it seemed they were always in the way. I try to never say never, but right now I've shied away from palm blenders.

2021年10月7日 · I just got a couple of Michael Hilman’s powder coated bars. 3/4 x 2 7/8" for lap and 7/8 x 3" for pedal. The 7/8" x 3" is a little shorter than I’ve used in the past but it fits my hand better. These bars stick to your hand but not to the strings. I wish I had tried powder coated bars for lap steel a long time ago. Fred

Pickup(s) for LapSteel Build : The Steel Guitar Forum
2024年10月31日 · So, yeah, totally open-end questions but any thoughts on selecting a pickup (or pickups) for a middle-of-the-road first lap steel build. FYI, will build to 24-25" scale length and GBDGBD tuning as I'm still just learning reso and won't start a new tuning for quite a spell.

2016年10月24日 · I used those Stew Mac gauges for my first few lap steels and then it occurred to me that if the spacing is made progressively wider, then the slant angle would be different from string to string at the same fret and that might be problematic for some players so I stopped using the Stew Mac gauges for lap steels and use them only for guitar and banjo nuts.

Author Topic: Good amp for lap steel? - Steel Guitar Forum
2007年1月30日 · dont know that amp but I do have an amp I like for lap steel with similar specs. the ten inch speaker is a good thing. my amp is low powered but has great output. some times a bit dry sounding but with reverb added from a pedal the sound is sweet. I like tubes for steel, although, some like solid state and a big fifteen inch speaker.
