## Description

The Vorson LT-230-8 is a professional quality 8 String lap steel guitar custom designed by Vorson’s team of player/luthiers for exceptional performance on stage or in the studio. Many elite lap steel players prefer the expanded range of an 8 string that allows you to play fuller chords, and more interesting inversions, because you have more notes under the bar. With 8 strings you also have a wider range across the strings opening up new variations playing scales, runs, and arpeggios. The LT-230-8 features a 30 fret rosewood neck and a solid mahogany body with a deeply quilted maple top and matching headstock. The LT-230-8’s expanded range is powered by Vorson’s exclusive VSY-3+ Tone / Active Electronics and EQ coupled to a custom designed 8 string Master 100 pickup.  Note: The LT-230-8 is not a converted 6 string lap steel and the nut, bridge, fretboard, and pickup are specially designed for 8 string spacing so no cramped strings. If you can play a 6 you can play the Vorson 8, and you will light it up! Available in Translucent Blue, Translucent Red, and Translucent Vintage Sunburst and ships complete with a premium padded bag, tone bar, and cable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the width of the neck?  I want an aftermarket slide but don't know what size to look for.**
A: The neck width runs from 3" at the nut up to 3 3/8" at the high frets.  I bought a Shubb SP1 slide through Amazon for it, but there are a few others.  A bit of the description from the Amazon page - Brand: Shubb, Manufacturer Part: SP1, Designed by John Pearse, Cutaway bullet tip, Favored by many 8-string lap steel and Hawaiian guitarists for its extra length (3 3⁄8")

**Q: can i put only 6 strings on it**
A: I can't see why not ... the instrument is very well made, so I'm sure that having the two strings missing won't have an effect on it

**Q: Does the bag have a pouch for the slide and picks? If yes, where? The ad doesn't really have any pictures.**
A: Yes, it does. Can fit a cable and slides, extra strings, but not much else.

    Very Nice Lap Steel
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016*

Very nice instrument. String spacing is perfect, easy to play. Build quality is excellent. The fret board is real wood about a 1/4 inch thick, not a plastic overlay. The active pick-up sounds nice and the EQ is useful. There are four knobs, one volume, one tone, one EQ sweep and a fourth knob that doesn't seem to do much of anything. There were no instructions to refer to, nor could I find anything online about it.  The scale is 22.5 inches which is the standard. Useful if you do a lot of bar slants. They could offer a version with a 24.5 scale as there is plenty of room to extend it if they move the control pots. Overall I'm very happy with it.

    Nice sounding and looking Lap Steel
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021*

I just wanted to illustrate the 2 versions of the same Model being sold. It plays and sounds nice but may not be exactly as pictured, as shown in the illustration. This review is not to insult ar teardown but merely to show the differences between the 2 versions of the same model. The seller is not at fault nor is this about that, only just cosmetical appearance and the version you may receive! Ether way you will enjoy the Lap steel as a great learning experience or especially if your already a seasoned player.

    Some good, some bad.
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020*

Bad stuff first:The backpack straps on the bag are crap. Don't trust them or you will lose the guitar.The frets are improperly marked. One octave has 12 frets. The other octave has 13 frets.The retainers for the strings stick out from the bottom and will scuff the dickens out of any table you set this on. Do not set this guitar on a table that you like.The steel that comes with this guitar cannot cover all the strings simultaneously. Maybe I'm stupid, but given that this guitar is in an unusual size, it seems like you would want a steel that is designed for it. Oh well.The goodIt is prettyIt plays well.The "I'm not sure what to say"For whatever reason, the lowest string always plays like crap. It is entirely possible that this is my fault, though.
