Here is a short vid of my lap steel. If you use C-6th tuning, you will need C-6th strings. I got mine from Elderly Instruments.They are LAP C6  015-017-022-026-DY30-DY36.

string gauges are very different from standard - you'll need a C6 specific set.

on a 6-string...low to high C E G A C E - .036w to .015 or similar.

It is an awesome tuning though and capable of way more complex licks than the open major chord tunings.  I have my '48 ricky strung to this, and it's sweet as.

Looking forward to that Buddy. I've got a nice book on C 6th tuning and want to try it. Are the string gauges different?

If anyone has never tried a set of C 6th strings on a lap steel, You gotta try it. It the old Texas swing sound sound and EASY to play. I'll post a vid tomorrow of my Dewight lap steel.   Late 1950's model.

Jabes, I live in Brighton, I see that geezer on North street just below the pound shop and the 99p shop quite often, he's a nice bloke and plays real well, I hope he does good with his you tube account, he deserves it! There's another young lad who's usually playing by the theatre Royal near Brighton Pavilion, he's an excellent slide guitar player, just a young pup in his early twenties, guess being 65 myself anyone under 50 is a young pup!
