The British Steelies Society

Hello Everyone and thanks for accepting me as a member. My name is Nick, I'm in my 50s and have been a singer/guitarist (fretted and slide) for many years playing in pubs with the occasional festival. I am now interested in getting my first lap steel with a view to trying it for both blues and country and see where it takes me. I'm looking to buy my first lap steel soon (maybe a Gretsch starter model or similar) and then get some lessons, so if anyone has any advice or recommendations they would be much appreciated. Nick.

Welcome Nick,
You've come to the right place. Once you're tooled up I'd recommend heading over here.....

Some great tips for getting a good grounding with the basics.
Good luck.

Thanks Danny, much appreciated. Looks like just the thing to get me going. Nick,

Hi Nick, Welcome to the BSS, there is a lap steel section on the site, check into that and also the for sale section, lap steels come up quite regularly. Good luck. Donny.
