Hi my friend. For sure. These things are great for ANYTHING. I don’t think that Peavey even know what they have here. It will literally work for anything you throw at it. Just an amazing instrument.

Bonjour Groovydjs !

I have a question, i hope you’ll understand it, i don’t write english very well

Do you think this lap steel could be ok for "stoner rock" , sound like Kyuss, Queens of the stone age style of sound ???

Thanks a lot for your video ! i didn’t understand what was said but what i eared sound cool !

Thanks my friend, You can use whatever kind of slide you want on it. I like my lap steel tone bars, but you can play it with a regular slide bar if you wish to.

Oh yeah, these are just as cool as it gets. The only thing they forgot to do was to cut grooves into the bridge for the strings to stay put, but that’s easy enough with a metal file. 5 minutes and I was up and ready to go. I’ve owned tons of lap steels and this one is easily the coolest one I’ve had. So much fun too. I know you’d enjoy this thing. A lot of people are buying these up. It’s hard to find anybody that has them in stock. lol They can’t make them fast enough.

Oh, I did too. I knew I would because I had done it once before when I kicked in the distortion. So, I knew that I would need to put on a pair of DEPENDS adult diapers when I did this video so that nobody would see the wet spot. lol

Yeah, I just love these things and they are ALWAYS out of stock on them. I like to think that I had a small part in helping them sell a bunch of them and make lap steel cool again. Yeah, I wouldn’t own any other lap steel. I’ve had all of the "Cool ones to have" back in the day and they all suck big time compared to these things. I did lick the paint once and got a good buzz!

My pleasure. I have to use custom gauged Elixir strings since they don’t make any strings for them. I was in a standard dobro duning on this particular video. I have a lot of these that I keep in different tunings and different gauge strings. I have no clue as to the scale length. They may mention it on the Peavey website, but since it’s a lap steel, the scale length really doens’t come into play much since you’re not actually trying to fret anything.

Scott, This looks like a cool rig What strings and tuning are you using and what is the scale length ?…. thanks for the review …

Thank you so very much my friend. The learning curve is not bad at all. It really depends on the tuning you want to go with on it. I use 4 tunings on a constant basis and have a few of these and keep them all in different tunings. The tuning here is just a straight dobro tuning and is very easy to learn. If you ever want to download some of my free lessons on these, just shoot me an email and I’ll throw you the links to download them to see how you like them.

I have a buddy of mine who has invented these nylon straps that are as strong as steel and have slits in the ends of them. The slits are sewn and then heated so that they can’t possibly ever tear. Those slits fit allow for your tuning keys to slip through them and after slipping the key through on each side of your headstock….you can just hang it from a single screw mounted on your wall, a book case, anywhere you want. They are very cool for things like this for sure.

100{10faa3092bae83cdf963b1ab1025701434ba1e012413cb9c0c72be0a479389c3} I would recommend it for a first and last lap steel. I’ve owned about 50 different lap steels from the typical Gibson, Rickenbacker, Fender, Supro etc. vintage stuff to everything up until this and the Peavey just smokes them all at such a stupid price. I would get a different tone bar than what comes with it and then you have to put the notches in the bridge to hold the strings in place (Peavey forgot to do that), then you’re set for the rest of your life on a lap steel.Cheers.

So you would recommend this for a first lap steel?

I love these things. I have 4 of them, red, white and 2 blacks. All in different tunings. These are so much better and better sounding than the vintage stuff. With them being able to be worn so many ways, going from single coil to humbucker is great. You can’t beat them at any price. Notch out the bridges so that the stings actually stay putt and then you’re off to the races. Cool Axe!
