Listing Info
( from listing's site ) - Steel guitar is also one of the most personalized of instruments, which adds to its charm but creates a lot of confusion for the beginner. Almost every player has his or her own unique setup. Some use pedals to raise and lower strings. Others do not. And after more than a century, there is still no single tuning that everyone considers a standard for our instrument or a clear starting point.
