Hi all,
This is a 6 string lapsteel I'm finishing up for Ron Dotson, a member here on the Forum.

-Getting a TT6 with wooden veneer(still deciding on
PU veneer, knobs, and wood for the knob caps).
-Walnut back and neck(back is chambered)
-Figured Koa top.
-Tung oil finish.
-Bone nut.
-Koa headcap.
-Thumbnail Maple fingerboard.
-Abalone inlay dots
-Stainless bridge w/Cocobolo feet.
-Stainles string through ferrules
-Electrosocket output jack(very cool, from Stew Mac).
More when the TT is here and it's strung up!
Best,
Ryan

Beautiful design and work, Ryan! I think the maple pickup veneer would look amazing, matching the fingerboard. Wish I was in a position to buy this one!
EDIT: Ahh - I see it's already spoken for! What is the scale lenght by the way? 23"?

Beautiful work Ryan...
Hey Ryan,
When I win the Lottery I'll ask you to build me a nice (but simpler) 8 string-er!
Very nice work, Pardner!

I want to thank Ryan for building me such a beautiful guitar. Once she is finally complete I will still have to wait upon her arrival in Hong Kong.
For those that do not know, I am a self supporting missionary in China. The guitar will be in the Lord's service making a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Once again, thank you Ryan for creating such a beautiful guitar!

Notes to self. Friday August 22, 2008.
Saw stunning lap by Ryan Rukavina on forum. Crap, did not see this coming - severe GAS exists in the Lap Steel world.
Things to do list:
-Check 401k balance
-Check wife 401k balance
-Google "blue book value honda crv"
-Resist urge to go to www.rukavinaguitars.com/gallery
-Repeat daily: "tone is in the player" - tone is in the player" - "tone is in the player"
