S.I.T. Scotty’s Non-Pedal / Lap Steel Guitar Strings combine expert craftsmanship and premium materials to deliver consistent tone, smooth playability, and exceptional musical clarity. Developed in collaboration with the late Dewitt “Scotty” Scott, these sets reflect his deep understanding of steel guitar performance and offer carefully selected gauges and tunings to suit a wide range of playing styles and setups. A defining feature of Scotty’s sets is the inclusion of Silencer® semi-flat (SL) wound strings. These provide a warm, nuanced tonal character while significantly reducing bar and finger noise. The semi-flat winding creates a smoother surface for effortless slides and expressive vibrato, all while maintaining clear note definition, strong sustain, and balanced projection. Engineered for longevity and performance, these strings deliver a refined blend of durability, comfort, and rich steel guitar tone — making them an ideal choice for both traditional lap steel players and modern non-pedal steel musicians. Key Benefits: Designed in collaboration with Dewitt “Scotty” Scott Includes Silencer® semi-flat wound strings for reduced bar noise Smooth sliding feel with enhanced tonal warmth Excellent sustain, clarity, and string-to-string balance Built for long-lasting performance and consistent tuning From classic steel traditions to contemporary lap steel expression, Scotty’s strings provide the sound, feel, and reliability trusted by generations of steel guitar players.
