This full size American swamp ash body lap steel features 36 frets and offers a single coil pickup for clear and bright sound
Unlike a typical guitar, the strings of a lap steel are not pressed to a fret when sounding a note; rather, the player holds a metal slide called a steel (or tone bar) in one hand, which is moved along the strings to change the instrument's pitch while the other hand plucks or picks the strings
It is perfect for Blues, Rock, Hawaiian, Country, Bluegrass, and Western Swing
The strings are spaced widely, with 3/8" between each one
This makes it very easy and enjoyable to play
