Anybody have any experience with Dyson lap steels? They make two different models.

No experience here with the steels in question, but I just wanted to comment that the bridge pickups seem awfully far from the bridge. That configuration on the Canopus steels resulted in really yucky tone. |

Good point. But maybe that guitar just has yucky tone? It's so hard to know without moving the pickup. Sustain is another matter. |

Personally, I'll take Jeff's word for it. If he didn't truly believe it in his heart to be an accurate assessment, he wouldn't have said it. Don't underestimate this young man's expertise...... |

Yes, i'm not really questioning him. I want to hear more from Jeff. It's me who has no expertise; at least in the steel guitar area. I'm just trying to learn. |

it would be nice to get the lower-priced one and add a strat-pup between bridge and existing p-90. I really hate their second pickup location, look out or it will grab your bar!!!!!!!!!!!The headstock is kinda cool, woodwork looks good. |

Hey Dan,
Why don't you drop by and play some of my steels? I'll loan you one for a while. Nice seeing you at that vintage show a few weeks ago.
