Question is, is it playable, does it sound OK, or is it just a conversation piece

The mother of all vague thread headings.

Ash Grunweld plays one. You all gotta keep your minds open to new ideas...

One of the forumites built one and posted a clip with it a couple of years ago, it sounded very good. I believe his name is Joe Delarond. Sorry if I misspelled it, Joe.

That's actually pretty cool. Hey, if it's a choice between wheels and pedals under my guitar, I'll take wheels any day!

I've thought for years it would be great to turn a coffee table into a steel guitar. All it would need is a keyhead, a fretboard, a bridge and a pickup.

So, now I'm not just a "non-pedal" steel guitarist, I also have to explain to people that I'm a "non-wheel" steel guitarist as well! The list of nons is getting to long for this instrument we play!

Where would you put your feet?

I think the deck "plugs in" on top & locks into those metal sockets somehow.
It would ride really tall though...

Well, at least you'd get in alot of practice while you were recovering from that broken ankle!

I think this is in the same vein as those who've converted a toilet seat into a guitar. It's no longer expected to be used for its original function.

Yo Jim, I think it was Christian Markley, but I'm not entirely sure.
