Fender® 0950072321 FS-52 Lap Steel Guitar White Blonde - Natural Finish

Enter the Fender® 0950072321 FS-52 Lap Steel Guitar. The steel guitar differs from a regular guitar in the way that it is played. The lap steel guitar is held in your lap facing toward you. The strings are raised above the fretboard; rather than pressing them to the fretboard, a steel bar is pressed against the strings. Typically the lap steel guitar is tuned in one of several "open" tunings rather than standard guitar tuning. Originally used in Hawaii, the lap guitar has become more prominent in country and bluegrass styles.
