^ TS getthehellouttahere ya toerag. Great to see you as well.
Glad you like 'em skydancer, I've been lucky to nab some bits and bobs but there's a big coolness drop-off after a few...
Anyway, here's a lap steel. This one is badged as a Kay, but it was made by National/Valco in Chicago around 1960. It's got the infamous string-through pickup that Ry Cooder cannibalised to put in his Strat. Pretty hairy... good for blooze. Fingerboard markers are more of a hindrance than anything... but who cares? Generally tuned A6, but I futz around on others.
