The console steel guitar is any type of electric steel guitar that is built in a frame supported by legs. It may be a lap steel or a pedal steel. Console steel guitars are typically heavier instruments that have multiple necks and/or more than six strings per neck and are therefore not manageable on the player's lap. This type of instrument was created when players in the late 1940s needed to play in different keys and with different chords than the lap steel afforded. To do this, they added additional necks (each tuned differently with additional strings) to a lap steel. The player could then easily switch to a different neck on the same instrument, but this made the instrument so heavy and cumbersome that it could not be easily held on the lap.

| - The console steel guitar is any type of electric steel guitar that is built in a frame supported by legs. It may be a lap steel or a pedal steel. Console steel guitars are typically heavier instruments that have multiple necks and/or more than six strings per neck and are therefore not manageable on the player's lap. This type of instrument was created when players in the late 1940s needed to play in different keys and with different chords than the lap steel afforded. To do this, they added additional necks (each tuned differently with additional strings) to a lap steel. The player could then easily switch to a different neck on the same instrument, but this made the instrument so heavy and cumbersome that it could not be easily held on the lap. Trying to solve the problem with multiple necks led to the invention of the pedal steel guitar in the 1950s. Console steels are particularly favored in Hawaiian music, especially the twin neck eight string per neck configuration. Don Helms played a Gibson Console with Hank Williams. Also, Hank Williams III's steel guitar player Andy Gibson plays a Fender Dual Professional steel guitar. Kayton Roberts, who also played with Hank Williams III, used this same particular model as well. Console steel guitars most commonly have eight strings per neck, with six or seven strings less common and mainly on older instruments. Up to four necks is not unusual, as without the benefit of pedals, the player has only as many tunings available as there are necks, but two necks are most common. As with the pedal steel guitar, the neck closest to the player is most commonly C6 tuning, and the next closest E9 tuning. Music Historian Andy Volk defines a lap steel as any non-pedal steel guitar that is played in a horizontal position (parallel to the floor) and this includes Hawaiian steel guitars, lap steels and table steels. There is a certain amount of disagreement about the preferred terms for non-pedal instruments.Some makers and authorities do not use the term console steel guitar at all, but refer to any steel guitar without pedals as a lap steel guitar. In 1956, Gibson was selling an 8+8 string with folding legs as a lap steel guitar, but this particular instrument is unplayable in lap steel fashion; The Fender Stringmaster with up to four necks was also described as a lap steel guitar in some Fender catalogs, while in others it was simply described as a steel guitar.

- La console steel guitar è una tipologia di steel guitar elettrica che unisce le caratteristiche di una lap steel guitar con quelle di una pedal steel guitar. Le console steel guitar possiedono tipicamente più manici e/o più di sei corde per manico, e sono abbastanza grandi da poter essere facilmente suonate nello stile delle lap steel. Sono utilizzate principalmente per la , in particolare quelle con due manici e otto corde per manico. ha suonato una Gibson Console con Hank Williams e anche lo steeler di Hank Williams III Andy Gibson suona una Fender Dual Professional. Kayton Roberts, che ha suonato anche per Hank Williams III, utilizzò lo stesso particolare modello. Le console steel guitar hanno comunemente otto corde per manico, mentre alcune possiedono sei o sette corde soprattutto negli strumenti meno recenti. Non sono inusuali i modelli con fino a quattro manici, come quelle senza i pedali, ed il musicista ha solo un determinato numero di tonalità raggiungibili quanto il numero dei manici (i modelli più comuni ne hanno due). Come con la pedal steel guitar, il manico più vicino al musicista ha comunemente un'accordatura di Do6 e quello successivo una di Mi9. Alcuni produttori e autorità non utilizzano quasi mai il termine console steel guitar, ma si riferiscono ad ogni steel guitar senza pedali con lap steel guitar. Nel 1956, la Gibson vendeva una 8+8 corde con gambe pieghevoli come una lap steel guitar, ma questo strumento particolare non può essere suonato nello stile delle lap steel; la Fender con fino a quattro manici veniva descritta anche come una lap steel guitar in alcuni cataloghi della Fender, mentre in altri veniva menzionata come una steel guitar.
