eddie1261, the question is what lap steel are you interested in...solid body, hollow body, 6 strings or 8 strings. I can only talk from the point of view I make my own lap steels. 6 string can be any tuning you wish...D. G. D6. G6 or C. C6. There are a miriad of tuning I use High G C6th on my 8 string LS. Tuning as follows high to low: G. E. C. A. G. E. C. A. If you really get stuck have a look at John Ely's site or check Cindy Cashdollar's info. Do a load of digging and you'll get the answers.
