Trilogy (?) for 8 string lap

Post by Michael Lester »

Is anyone aware of a Trilogy/Hipshot (or similar) bridge for use with a lap steel?

I'd like to zero in closer to the Helm's E13 tuning - from C6 - on stage.

We play a good bit of western swing but often throw in Hank Sr. I get kinda the flavor of Don Helm's direction for the songs we play on C6 - until I listen to the original version in the truck on the way home.

I've seen the Trilogy tailpiece videos on Youtube.

It'd be great to flip a lever and play in a tuning that sounded closer to E13 and then go back to C6.
