Pedal Steel & Specialty

Are lap steel strings ball end or loop end?

Quick Answer

It depends on your guitar's tailpiece, so check what's on it now before you order. S.I.T.'s Scotty's Non-Pedal / Lap Steel sets are ball end. If your lap steel needs loop end strings, plain loop end singles are available.

Ball end strings have a small brass ball that seats in the tailpiece or a hole through the body. Loop end strings have a twisted loop that hooks over a pin or stud. They aren't interchangeable, so look at the end of a string that's on your guitar now. More on this in loop end vs ball end strings.
