Gibson sold lap steel guitars and amps as outfits and named them after their price. EH 100 outfit cost $100, EH150 cost $150 and EH185 cost $185 etc. That continued on into their electric guitar range.  ES125, ES335 Etc.

But which one gets played or is the go to guitar, I have an old Aussie Maxim lap steel that does that job, it just feels right.

They are all fun to play with but always require servicing so for jamming I play an 1980's Dobro Electric lap steel.
