I have a steel guitar here with a True tone and looks pretty new. I was told that this was the first steel the builder made like this.

The True tone Pickup and Tuners look pretty new to me and has a fabulous tone.

The price is 250.00 and the Shipping is 25.00 Fedex.
Send for the Pictures of this great guitar.

What is the scale length?

Sonny Miller · Post by **Sonny Miller** » 12 Nov 2008 12:40 pm

We are looking at 23 inches for the total scale length!

30" from bridge to nut? Is this a baritone?

It's a Dynalap lapsteel. They sell for $225 new as a kit exactly like the guitar in the pics, including the Wallace Truetone pickup. You can checkout the website at: www.dynalap.com

This is supposed to be the first Lap Steel of this type, ever built, which makes it a kit already put together., one that was very lightly stained to protect the finish.

There was a small fee added , with newer strings, newer finish, string grooves,and a small charge, which includes the Fedex charge.

The string groove were filled so they played a lot better, and the strings grooves were not walking around on you.
These things are necessary for a better sounding guitar.
And yes ,it is a lap steel!

FINISHED KIT IS 430.00.

This finished kit offers a savings of over 200.00.

So you can see this is a good deal.

30" scale length just HAS to be wrong, that's the overall length of the guitar, methinks more like 22.5" Scale length: (It took 0.13 seconds in Google to confirm that)

The Dynalap site lists the scale length as 23".

23 inches is as close as i can get!
I was wrong as it is indeed 23 inches.

How about a big bump for this guitar. I have played this Guitar and it is a great unit and a GREAT Sounding Guitar. I am having one built for myself, and why not buy Sonny"s, is because I am going to mount it on a maple frame with for legs and also I wanted a 24" scale so I can us the same fretboard as my GFI has on it.

The new owner of the Lap Steel is Chris Scott, who is going to be very proud he took a chance on this beauty.
Wish i had a Case to send Chris when i send it to Homestead Florida in a few days.

Paul Hokanson:
where should Chris buy a new case for his new guitar? That would be a great help when he gets it.
Just put the address here on the forum for him!
Come to think of it, does the guy who made it have a good case for him?he is the maker of the Dynalap Lap steel.
