Marvel Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Weird album cover, as he is holding a doubleneck lap steel like a regular guitar. Bruce Why not, Jeff Healey plays a regular guitar like a lap steel. For one, most lap steels don't have actual frets, only fret markers. Second, the strings on a lap steel are 3/8 to 1/2 inch off the fret board. It is far different playing slide on a regular guitar. A pic of mine is attached (a 1940s Kalamazoo, a Gibson Co.).

Islander Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 That's a pretty guitar, Bruce! I see what you mean about the height of the strings, plus the neck seems very wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 In reality, you can switch between fretting and slide, doing amazing things on a regular guitar. But a lap steel can be pretty darn cool, too. David Lindley plays pretty mean lap steel. I am way out of practice, and my own playing would be a poor example, but I love the instrument, as well as its acoustic cousin the dobro.

I've seen him live, also, in a small venue here in Chattanooga. The guy is incredible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
