This is the later version of the SX lap steel and they really sound great and are well built. There was a earlier version that was less expensive but wasn't near as well built and didn't sound near as good. I repair and sell banjos as a hobby. I live near Brinnon on Hood Canal. I have around 50 banjos, a couple of banjo ukes and a couple of lap steels that are ready to play, so come on up and play them all. If you see one you like but you can't get here I will take Pay Pal and mail it to you. I do it all the time. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please give me a call. My number is three 60 seven 96 o196. Gene
