I had been looking for another instrument to add to my bag of tricks, and a lap steel was at the top of the list. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality for the price.....yes it's made in China but don't let that worry you. The finish is top shelf and it plays and stays in tune as good as a lap steel ten times the price. I already have another one ordered to have another tuning/ string gauge on hand. Can't go wrong with Gretsch!
Just what I needed.

This lap steel is well designed and sounds great. It is also one of a very few that have enough room in the bridge area to add a Duesenberg multibender, a mod that I wished make.
What a lovely surprise for my husband! He loves it!

At 70 years old I decided to try my hand at the lap steel. I have always loved the sound so I thought I'd give it a try. What a nice instrument to start on. I would think whether you are a beginner or a pro you would appreciate the look, quality and sound of this guitar. I think it's great.

To follow up on the earlier question about being in C6 tuning. I have recently purchased this guitar as well as lessons on line. The individual mentioned about buying strings to tune it to C6. Do I need to do this or are the strings on this guitar able to be tune C6?
It should be already tuned to C6submitted4 years ago
