    Description

    These lap steels are made to order, the photo is an example, not the exact lap steel you'll receive. They typically take a couple weeks to complete, but depending on my work load can take a little longer.
    The body is made of walnut. If you have a preference for walnut with or without sapwood (the white part) let me know and I will do what I can.
    These are a single pickup (Paf style humbucker) instrument with a single master volume. They come equipped with a handmade  b-bender and g bender. All of the wooden appointments and hardware are made from thermally modified Red oak. The scale length is 23.5 inches. The tuners are gotoh, (grover sta-ties also available) the pot is cts, and the output jack is switchcraft. The finish is hand rubbed oil
    .
    The b bender and g bender are micro adjustable with a machine screws for intonation, and can be set to bend either a half, or full step up. They come strung up for an open
    E tuning (EBEG#BE), bending the second string up a full step takes you from a B to a C#, and bending up the 3rd string by a half step gives you an A. These two settings together give you the four chord, the relative minor, and an add4 chord.
    here is a video of me noodling a little bit. Doubtless it would sound better in more experienced hands. I'm not a slide player by any stretch, and this was just recorded with my iphone, so its not super high quality , but hopefully the video is helpful, in any case it shows the benders in action.
