This newly designed mobile lapsteel guitar is held like a dobro guitar and so you can stand up and walk around with it.  It has a number of innovations never before seen on any mobile stand-up steel including a sliding ergonomic “belly body” so the player can get access to the upper frets with the bar.  Also, a concave curved stabilizer bar has been attached to the belly body to provide extra stability and slant the guitar forward 120 degrees from horizontal.  It comes in three basic models:  Blue Note 1 (BN1), Blue Note 2 (BN2), and Blue Note 2B (BN2B).  BN1 has one pickup, BN2 has two pickups, and BN2B has two pickups and benders.  This guitar is a Blue Note Two with two Seymour Duncan custom mini-humbuckers.
