It's not a Lap Steel, not a Dobro, and it's not a conventional steel guitar. This instrument is in response to the huge number of requests we've gotten for a lap type steel that could be played standing up. The shape of the PowerSlide is designed to position the playing surface (fingerboard) to the left of the players body allowing unhampered access to the playing surface. The unique 4 point suspension and the special "Y" strap enable the PowerSlide to be played either horizontally or vertically (and almost anywhere in between).
