Very nice. Love the swamp ash. What kind of pups do you have in there?. Looks like an un-matched set....which can lead to some sonic fun. Hi Steve, Thanks. The pickups are a Lollar F-Spaced Imperial Humbucker in the neck Position and a Lollar Chicago Steel in the Bridge Position. With a blend pot i...

Custom Build for Nashville Musician Drew Belk who plays with Billy Currington

Here is a Semi Hollowbody we made for one of our Nashville players. Maple cap on Mahogany body.

The Dobro player was Josh Matheny, a Nashville Musician and session player. Josh is also a great Lap Steel player. Check him out on the Scantic River Guitars web site. www.scanticriverguitars.com

David, I think it's a Scantic River, maple top and Lollar pickups. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/3865_7260_532575166806847_1196188062_n_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/3865_968907_523765854354445_3731254_n_1.jpg Yes Dennis that is one of ours, Thanks for posting the ph...

Thanks Don, We appreciate it.

Being out here on the west coast, don't know when I would get the chance to play an SRG, but I'd sure love to at some point. I have a feeling that I'd be getting the old wheels turning in my head to sell stuff, Rob-Peter-to-Pay-Paul, etc., to get my hands on one of these babies! Thanks for chiming ...

Custom Build going to Dan Galysh who plays for Rodney Atkins. First Walnut Top.

ok..now we know they are worth the price due to workmanship and parts and design. now how do they stack up tonally. with seventy years of cool old weird lapsteels like supro, oahu, rickenbacher, gibson, fender, etc., how do these fit in the picture? can they get some of the older very cool tones or...

Let me ask you this: do you think any standard electric guitars are worth $2000? I don't know what your answer will be, but often the typical answer, to borrow the slab-of-wood comment which has been used by many, is that because the action and shape of a neck is so important to being dialed-in on ...

aside from being very pretty, what dictates the high prices on these slabs of wood? Hi Chris, Good question. When we decided to build Lap Steel guitars we said if we are going to do this lets make the best instrument we possibly can.So if you go out today and purchase the components we use,Hand sel...

This one reminds me a bit of Jerry Douglas' purple-topped Lap King, which I might be seeing him play on a few tunes this weekend in Napa. I checked out the SRG website earlier after spotting this thread - spent way too much time there - they are doing some incredible work! 8) Thanks much Mark we ap...

Peter Jacobs wrote:That's awesome! I'll be it sounds incredible with those pickups. Is the bridge your own design?

Hi Peter thanks, Yes we designed the bridge and Hip Shot makes them for us. They really drive the string vibration down into the body resulting in some awesome sustain.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the compliment we appreciate it. The Guitar is made from 1 piece of African Mahogany with a Quilted Maple Cap. The scale length is 25 inches and is standard for our steels. Cindy sent us a photo of a Purple guitar that she liked and wanted us to match it.We tried some differen...

Our recent build designed with Cindy Cashdollar.Great to work with her and glad to have her playing an SRG.

Hi Dennis, Sorry that it bothers you that we do not list prices on our web site. The reason is that we design our guitars with the customers input,they choose what Pickups they want as well as what kind of top highly figured or solid color,Relic, Custom inlays, binding or whatever they want we will ...

I have known Phil for a couple of years and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He went out of his way to help us out many times and lets us use his amps in our booth at the Summer Namm show in Nashville so we don't have to ship any down there. Everyone who played one of our Lap Steels thr...

Hi Chris, Thanks for stopping by our booth at the Namm show. We had a great response and our new semi hollowbody was a big hit. Our standard scale length is 25in. but we also have made 23 and 24 for customers who wanted them. We are now on tour with Jo Dee Messina and Little Big Town and are endorse...
