Thanks for posting this. I found it rather wonderful. Mind you I suspect great care is need when playing that Peavy Powerslide. One false move and you could do yourself a mischief!

Teisco & the Bel tone were my favourites out of this selection, it would be good to put a good Valco strings through pickup lap steel against a Ricky B6, I have done this and the B6 wins.
