Don't forget to pick up a slide bar (the Lap Dog is a nice entry level one), and personally I use finger picks as well. Totally optional of course.

A few leads. I don't know your price range but these fall between 1 to 2k :

Hope this helps, and good luck on your search!

Thank you for this--it is very helpful. It's interesting, the other instrument Mike was playing last night was a hollowneck Weissenborn style guitar that also sounded great.

The price range is right, so I'll take a look. Thanks again.
