Dean Markley Blue Steel REG 2556 Electric Guitar Strings (.010-.046)
$12.00
Don't buy these strings. I am in the process of experimenting with different strings for my strat and decided to buy a pack of the Blue Steels. They sound great when you first put them on but that's about it. 1 week later they become dull and the lower strings begin to wear extensively and become sharp to the touch. These Strings are supposed to last longer because of the freezing mumbo jumbo but its just the opposite. I never had to change strings so fast. After a week the strings were cutting through my finger corns and shredding them. Don't buy these!! They are junk.

The Hal Leonard Lap Steel Guitar Method
$9.99
I have bought quite a few lap steel guitar books by now and can say that this one is the best. The others just simply aren't pithy enough. You can learn several tunings from the book--the only criticism I would have is that there aren't enough songs in any one key, but that can be remidied by buying a book of songs in the key/s you settle on. I wish I had seen this book when I first started to learn steel.

Recording King Lap Steel Guitar, Natural
$199.99
This was a huge disappointment. Read the ad and looked at the manufacturer's website and it looked like a great deal.

After arrival I unpacked the guitar and plugged it into my amp. Surprise! No sound. So I tried a different cable and still had no sound. Next, I took the back cover plate off to look at the wiring and discovered I had sound with the plate off. Put the cover plate back and had no sound. After rearranging the wires I eventually got the pickup to work with the back plate on but the sound was thin and scratchy and downright horrible.

The tuners were poorly made and the guitar would not stay in tune. The fingerboard was white and highly reflective and difficult to use for positioning (a must on a lap style instrument).

I did a cost benefit analysis of what it take to turn this into a player. I determined I would need new pots, new pickup, new tuners, and a new fingerboard. I decided that for me it wasn't worth keeping.

So I opened an RMA on Amazon.com and shipped it back. I have to say Amazon.com was extremely gracious and professional and they issued a full refund within 24 hours.

I give Amazon.com five stars but this guitar one star.
