Thanx for the tips man,i am really looking into lap steels and i am also going to install the new multibender system to emulate the pedalsteel. A couple of more questions bro: would you get a single coil or humbucker? why? Thee are many choices as you can see here: http://www.thomann.de/de/search_dir.html?sw=lapsteel&x=0&y=0 and some of them are dirt cheap which is really tempting like this one: http://www.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_slider_ii.htm If its an electric lapsteel, how dramatic is the quality of the wood? you really think if i slap some good pickups on it it would be just as good as the more expensive ones? Just curious man i remeber you using the EDP for a while, why did you switch to the looperlative? do you find it more intuitive?how is the sound quality compared to the EDP? thanx buddy! cheers Luis --- William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com> wrote: > Thanks for the kind words guys, I was hoping they > had taken that off You > tube!
