Alden Traditional 6-String Lap Steel Flame Maple/Mahogany Blue Satin
Clay Alden has spent the past few years building bodies and pickups for top steel guitar manufacturers (MSA, Emmons and others), and applies that same expertise to his own line of lap steel guitars.
The Alden Traditional Lap Steel features a mahogany body with flame maple top and center stripe in satin blue finish (the satin finish helps the guitar stay put on your lap). The pickup is Alden’s own hand-wound single-coil design—the same design you’ll find in the finest pedal steels, modified to fit the 6-string format.
Simple, affordable, and built to sound as good as they look, we think these USA-made* lap steels compete with anything on the market.
*Alden guitars and pickups are handmade in Ashland City, TN (near Nashville).
