10 (mostly) Vintage Lap Steels - Fender Rickenbacker Magnatone Oahu Teisco 

Whoops!! I found the info.

I like the one with the high action. ;-)

"Yes, honey, I definitely DO need all those guitars!" Great variety in your musical ideas!

A 1950's Magnatone popped up on the local CraigsList for $300. I am considering it after watching you play. I would need lots of practice but you sure made those lap steels sound sweet. thanks.

Gee..no vintage National! Many, thanks, Steve. Getting ready to shell out CDN $ 500 - 800 for a vintage lap and put it through my vintage Regal R - 1130 amp. This has helped me greatly.👋👋👋

Beautiful playing on beautiful guitars, Steve!

Thank you. I just had to buy that same Teisco for myself after watching this video. Sounded so amazing to me.

Beautiful collection

Fabulous playing! Your technique is really fun to hear and watch. The best sounding steels to my ear were the Fender Deluxe 8 and the Oahu Diana. The Faulk and the peavey definitely needed some overdrive and effects to sound decent.

It’s interesting how they all have a different sound.

Amazing.. play and instruments..!!

Bastante guitarras havaianas. Vc é colecionador.. muito bom.. Very Nice... Espetacular.. parabéns 👏

Fabulous.

Beautiful

awesome!

Yes

This is great, and a wonderful comparison of these guitars! You're not helping me in my quest to not buy more lap steels (I have three, but they're all so affordable compared to similar vintage Spanish guitars...) One tiny nitpick is that the Fender is 50s vintage, not 60s; the sweet trapezoid pickups (my favorite, and what's on my Deluxe too) were only used through 54 or 55.

i love your playing. such great tone. what a beautiful selection of steel too! im a new player and curious what kind of volume pedal you use? many blessings for your wonderful videos kind human

Hello! I was wondering if you'd be able to provide some insight for me... I am a piano player who is remotely familiar with playing guitar and I've always been in love with lap steels. I am looking to dip my toes and buy one for around $400 for less. I see multiple options on Ebay including a 1961 Valco Airliner, a Teisco 6 string, potentially a gold tone LS-6, etc... I was wondering which lap steel would be best for a beginner? I want a decent sounding guitar but the thing I want most is reliability. On the listing for the Teisco, it says the tension of the tuners is weak and the seller suggested certain tunings to accommodate. Is this a common problem? What should I be looking for in a lap steel in my price range. Many thanks and awesome playing!

1!

Coollllll

Love this, Steve!!

Please, someone....which guitar is which. I'm a pro musician bur brand new to lap steel, looking for steel. Thanks.

hi, I am looking for a lap steel like yours either Gibson eh or Fender deluxe string master. I am writing to you from Italy, could you recommend me a site or store where I can buy one of those two lap steel at a good price please? I'm also asking you for versatility which one would you recommend for me to play pop and rock, Indy music. Thank you in advance for your advice and help.

Say, great playing! What capo is that? Do you have any recommendations or tips on choosing a capo for lap steel?

Steve, what is the first steel you're playing in this video? I have one just like it with case, but there is no brand identification.
