Anyone bought the Harley Benton Slider II ? Seems like a sweet deal for €95 euro http://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_slider_ii.htm Is there much that can go wrong with a lap steel?

Don't know a whole lot about lap steel, but from what I've heard Harley Benton instruments are generally of a lower quality.

I'd presume for e95 you wouldn't be using it for recording your next masterpiece in the studio but I'd say those HB guitars are grand for the price.

Hardly going to sound like a e1000 guitar but if you haven't played a lap steel guitar before I'm sure it's grand for seeing whether you like the style or not without spending too much and trying to shift a "niche" guitar if you decide it's not for you.

Quite like the inlays on that thing too
