Seriously, I absolutely love the wood! I think it will feel at home during the Jam!  |

Lap slide or real guitar? |

Location: South of most, North of few | Johnny, that's not wood, it's brass with an antique finish. OMA, you're asking the wrong guy, but I think it's a round neck and not a lap steel. A parlor size resonator. |

I have been toying with the idea of getting one of them. Let me know how it sounds! |

I have been toying with the idea of getting one of them. Let me know how it sounds! Yeah, that's it. As far as sound, I know it's loud, but as far as comparisons, I have to rely on what I've read. A lot of the guys on other sites compare it favorably with a National. |
