Dom, that's great. Nice work on the guitar! It has highs like a Fender. Great chordal work too!

Aloha Dom,

Looks like an excellent solution for someone who cannot physically perform slants.

How heavy is it and what is the scale length?
Aloha,

Mike K

Love this, great sound and playing! I have been playing a 14 string BMI Pedal Steel Guitar since 1984. Your playing inspiring to me, there are very few 14 string players. Thanks for sharing.

I could be wrong, but I think the point is to be able to play without having to slant and to get 4 note chords.
