Double 10 vs Universal 12

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Mick Ronny makes a little gadget to keep the E's lower engaged very simple little thin and it works like a charm.... I even made one myself when I saw how it worked.... tis no big deal.

Hi Mick, I've only just seen your comment.
You wrote: "Because of that E lower lever. Everything that I had ever played on C6 lap steel was there together with all the twists and turns plus the usual E9 sound." This is exactly how I feel about the universal tuning (except with the bonus of having the 4 main C6 pedals too!). Sadly, my D10 is now living in it's case...

It is a shame that steel guitars are so rare and expensive in general, as I would love to hear what you could do on a universal. Your lap steel playing is very impressive!
