I picked up one of these about a year ago and really love it. I run the piezo into a Jerry Douglas Aura pedal and then into a Fishman Loudbox. It's a tad boomy so I probably need to add an equalizer in the signal chain to attenuate some of that because the options on the Fishman just don't quite address the issue. But I love being able to switch back and forth between an acoustic dobro sound and crunchy lap steel with the turn of a knob.
Nice demo! This is a cool instrument, but what have made it amazing would have been if Beard could have worked with Fishman to get an Aura built in to make it really sound like a dobro straight from the output.
Want one. But pressing is a rack/stand for your lap steels when your not playing them. Is that one right behind you? If so, can you share where to get one? Thanks for all the lessons.
Did you order it directly from beard with the hip shot? Or did you buy it (the beard lap steel) from a guitar store and have a luthier add the hip shot after? Thanks

Wow Troy love that lapsteel sounds fantastic, but then again your playing would make bed pan with strings on it sound great too. Thanks Troy.
Tremolo for the win (very nice playing and info as well Troy, thank you ❤)
Loving the sound of the guitar, I have a cheap entry level lap steel guitar and love what you're doing on this channel.
Very cool
I would love to see this in the Andy Hall green dragon color scheme.
its a great idea and a cool instrument but You are one hell of player!!
It sounds awesome but I think I'd go with the Duesenberg with the benders if I'm going to spend that kind of money.
That guitar sounds awesome!
Wow it sounds Great for Sure ♫
Very cool, I dig it.

Nice demo, Troy. Have you tried the bridge pickup into a jd aura pedal?
cant you adjust the pickup heights to match the volume of the bridge pickup ?
Not on the Gold Foil

Hi Larry, it’s a K&M multi guitar stand that I modified to fit LapSteels
Thanks Troy!

Does the guitar have two output jacks like the stereo Rickenbackers?
Just one output that can be split into stereo with a 1/4” stereo Y cable. If you don’t split it, it’s summed mono.
Was wonder'n if it could also be fitted with a Duesenberg Bender...
Not with the Hipshot. I would not put benders on it
What gauge and brand of strings are on that Beard? Thanks

How much does one cost and what is the make and model with the hipshot
I’m not sure off hand
What gauge strings for D tuning on lap steel ? Thanks in advance. That sounds great. Cheers
