Strings for lap steel
My father in law just brought me his 1946 BR-3 Gibson Lap steel to change the strings on. He hasnt changed them since 1953.
How do you determine the gauges? I would think you need different gauges depending on how you tune the guitar. And--if you are tuned to open G, does that mean you can only play certain songs? I dont understand this guitar and open tuning. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.
