Sometimes known as a resonator guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonator_guitar)

I really enjoy the distinct sound that comes from one of these guitars and it always seems to remind me of summertime. I'm not a big fan however, of the lap, table or pedal string guitar, the ones you hear in country music. To each their own I guess. :)
Here's a couple of vids from a guy on youtube (longtoothslim) that seems to play a pretty mean steel guitar (a National Tricone). :thumbup1:
