Are
you talking about an old Guyatone Lap steel or a new model I haven't
heard of? I used to own a three legged White lap steel (fender made).
Those are very rare and expensive these days $9000+. Of the modern built lap
steels that are affordable that I've played, I'm most impressed by the gretsch
made lapsteel, which can be had with a gig bag for under $400 and sounds plays
and looks really good. That and an X frame keyboard stand would do the
trick. I always found threading the legs on the White steel to be a pain, and It
felt a bit wobbly when the legs were extended high enough to stand in front of
it.

Hi all,
Iīm in the market for a lapsteel guitar,
preferably a model by Guya/Guyatone (donīt know the model number) with
screw-in legs or a similar model by another maker. I donīt really mind whether
itīs a vintage classic or not, Iīm into a) playability (clear markings on the
fretboard) and b) sound only. Iīm located in Germany, thus offers from Europe
would be ideal. If youīve got something you think I might be interested in,
please get in touch with me off-list.
Thanks for reading,
Stephen.
