Got this as a gift for my husband also, he loves it. The weight of it is perfect, feels really good in the hand. He doesn't play his lap steel that often yet but when he does he now loves having this to play it with. Fast prompt service from the seller as well. Very nice product. Thanks so much. Now if I can just find the stand for the lap steel he'll have the whole set. Still can't find a lap steel stand anywhere. Odd.
