Lap Steel 5

Not quite finished but quite playable. I built this with a 25-1/2" scale like Strats and Telecasters hoping for a good bright sound. It is nice and bright. I'm struggling with whether or not to add tone and volume controls or go straight to the amp like it is now.

  • Sorry didnt see the scale...woops
  • What is the overall length of this baby and what scale is it..nice
  • Mike . That's a fine little steel . leave it alone . If you don't already have one , invest in a volume pedal . Pick a note with the volume down , put the "pedal to the metal" as you're working the slide , and she'll sound better than a Fender ShoBud . Add you're "smooth" style pickin' style to the mix and we're talkin' magic . Great build !!!
  • Thanks William. Good idea about the inline controls. I could stick it in the case and hook it up if needed.
  • BY the way, very nice build.
  • Why not make up a set of inline volume & tone controls? Then you could try both ways.
