Its not a Lap Steel, not a Dobro, and its not a conventional steel guitar. This instrument is in response to the huge number of requests weve gotten for a lap type steel that could be played standing up. The shape of the PowerSlide is designed to position the playing surface (fingerboard) to the left of the players body allowing unhampered access to the playing surface. The unique 4 point suspension and the special Y strap enable the PowerSlide to be played either horizontally or vertically (and almost anywhere in between).

Comments about Peavey Power Slide - Black:
Great Bargain. Comes with a cheap slide and a cord, both are garbage. Cannot stand the instrument up or lean it because of the shape. String gauge is too light for a slide guitar. Cannot understand why there is a pickguard for an instrament that is not strummed. Neck is over 2 inches but is not as wide as an acoustic Dobro. This instrument is both fun and easy to play. Electronics are phenomenal for the price. The setup is superior to a Gretsch or a Goldtone.
