Lap Steel Sets

Jagwire worked with me to develop these three sets for six string lap steel. They cover the 5 most common lap steel tunings. They have nickel wounds. Here are the gauges:

C6th/A6th    A Major/E7    E Major
---------    ----------    -------
E/E  .015    E /E  .015    E  .015
C/C# .017    C#/B  .018    B  .020
A/A  .020    A /G# .022w   G# .024w
G/F# .024w   E /E  .030    E  .030
E/E  .030    C#/D  .036    B  .038
C/C# .036    A /B  .042    E  .054

The C6th/A6th is the most popular set among accomplished players, and the lightest. It can be used for either tuning, or for Jerry Byrd's C6/C# tuning (E C A G E C#). Order item #J-L6C.

A major was the original steel guitar tuning when the instrument first surfaced in the 1930's. E7th is a popular tuning among guitarists who want to eventually make the transition to E9th pedal steel. The same string gauges can be used for both tunings. Order item #J-L6A.

The E Major is the heaviest set, common among blues players. Rock guitarists appreciate the heavy low E string. Order item #J-L6E.

Single string substitutions are permitted if the gauges are a little bit off of what you need. Nobody should have to play the wrong string gauges.
