Talk:Console steel guitar

Acoustic instruments

Do any acoustic table steel guitars exist, or were they all electric? Andrewa 18:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

They appear to be all electric, but that's just from what I can find. Love to have positive confirmation of this. Andrewa 18:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

1956 Gibson

See this eBay listing if it's still there, or see http://alderspace.pbwiki.com/f/97_12.jpg for the main image. My experience in getting eBay sellers to release their images as GFDL has not been good, but feel free to try! Otherwise I don't think we can use it in Wikipedia, it's not fair use IMO.

Title

Why is the article called "Console steel guitar", a term almost never heard of, and yet the article bolds "table steel guitar" (I guess equally unheard of!) which was a link to here? Huw Powell (talk) 08:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

An undiscussed and unilateral move. It probably should be reversed, but I want to do some research before proposing that formally. Andrewa (talk) 13:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

See http://tunings.pbwiki.com/Table-steel-guitar for some interesting material, all of it accurate but some of it possibly not verifiable to Wikipedia's standards. It does explain the unilateral move! Andrewa (talk) 18:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Not an article!

The article in its own lead says that a console steel quitar is just a stage in the evolution of lap and pedal steel guitars. That's why it is so short, and lame. It should just be a paragraph in the pedal and lap steel articles. Billyshiverstick (talk) 21:48, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
