Hard to beat a Deluxe34, but be advised -- they don't come cheaply.

If money (or lack of) was no deterrent, I would seek out a combo platter of the nicest-looking and bestest-sounding 6-string Rickenbacher Electro A-22 available.

I have eventually weaned myself off of picks for my electric guitars, in most instances. Sometimes I will use fingerpicks on my Weissenborn, but not always. When I do use them, I use a generic Dunlop ...

An option worth considering: With a pair of custom brackets, you could eliminate the legs altogether and set your lovely Console Grande on a Deluxe34 stand.

Buddy's solo on Gentle On My Mind from John Hartford's All In The Name Of Love album on Flying Fish circa 1977. Best version ever with stellar performances all around courtesy of Nashville's A-Team.

The glaringly obvious would be that if you have a knee lever that lowers both Es (most players do), simple engage it and play. Voila! Instant D6 (open) on the middle strings.

For a true lap steel, I would consider any handle a solution in search of a problem that simply does not exist. ...
