Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 I tend to prefer playing slide lap style. I play a Regal square neck in traditional bluegrass "high G" tuning. Got it from Elderly 10-12 yrs ago. I upgraded it with a spun cone, aluminum spider, and a better bridge insert. Its no Sheerhorn, but it sounds pretty good. I also have a Chandler 6 str lap steel. I started out on C6 tuning with it, but kinda gave up on that, its an unusual tuning and I never really got comfortable with it. So I strung it the same as my Regal, GBDGBD.bluegrass style. One of these days Id like to get a round neck metal body of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've made one of my own lap steels, and modified one for someone here (Travvybear) out of an old SX, and have a couple more in progress. My first one, made almost 10 years ago is on the left: Below is the mod'd SX: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Neal Posted January 27, 2013 Members Share Posted January 27, 2013 Great gear! Never could get the hang of lap steel. I have 3 Nationals (2-12 stringers), but they're all Spanish style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rishabhsachan Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sliding with a toddler on your lap can lead to the emergency room ..... I put my two year old on the slide and let her go down all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
