Shubb GS-1 Guitar Steel for Dobro or Lap-Steel Guitar
Product no: WI-540210 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The prerequisites for a solid steel are fairly straightforward: it needs to be made of steel. The Shubb GS-1 guitar steel naturally covers the basics here, but also has a comfy hardwood grip that's been carefully contoured for optimum comfort, a relaxed playing feel and steady grip.

From Blues to Hawaii

The method of playing stringed instruments with a steel first originated in Hawaiian music, which explains why the distinct sound that results is often referred to as that 'Hawaiian sound'. These days however, steels are more commonly seen in the hands of many blues musicians.

Wrote the following about Shubb GS-1 Guitar Steel for Dobro or Lap-Steel Guitar

Wonderful! the biggest plus to this is how comfortable it is to use. I found other guitar steels (the all chrome type) tended to slip , turn, have to be re positioned and sometimes dropped. This steel is. Well made, it sits beautifully in the hand and I have more control.

Met deze Shubb GS-1 is het een plezier om mee te spelen ook al ben je een beginneling. Je wijsvinger ligt perfect vast boven op de houten greep en zeker de vorm van de groef is perfect gemoduleerd. Kan de steel daardoor goed vasthouden, glijden en draaien op de snaren en levert nauwelijks problemen op.
Door een CVA heb ik namelijk mindert gevoel en grip in de vingers, waardoor de meeste andere na verloop van korte tijd uit de hand dreigen te glijden en voor mij oncontroleerbaar worden.
Voor mij is deze echt een uitkomst en geeft me mijn speelplezier terug in het bespelen van de lapsteel.

Ik geef deze steel geen 5 maar een 5++ sterren en is zeer aanbevelings-waardig. Zou echter nog blijder worden als deze zou worden aangeboden in verscheidene gewichten.
