I'm looking for something in an after-dinner guitar....

Want to ask about strings, maintenance, amps, mics, or comparisons of different guitars or any music equipment? This is for all threads related to music equipment.

You can play them upright. Eric Clapton uses a dobro (in an open tuning) on the unplugged album. Check out Running on Faith, Walkin' Blues, Rollin & Tumblin on that album to get a feel for the sound.

I think Fender makes a steel guitar that is only a couple of hundred bucks, that might sound quite alike.
