I really think surf music should use more steel guitar. I like that tune, Doug.

Thanks, Paul. I agree that surf music should use more steel guitar!

One of the advantages of:

a) having a 50+ year stash of guitar strings,
b) having a lot more lap steels than you really need,
c) and having much more time on your hands than is healthy,

allows for some experimentation.

I pulled out my old maroon postwar Kalamazoo KEH and strung it up especially to play this tune. Here are the string gauges I installed, which seem to work pretty well. (The KEH has a 22.5" scale.)

D - .018
C - .020
Bb - .022
A - .024p
G - .026w
F - .030

Those gauges look good, Jack. I hate changing strings so I just crank my C6 tuning up, way up!
