Weissenheimer Acoustic Lap Steel Guitar

Post by Leroy Beal »

This is something I finished recently. I'm very pleased with the resulting guitar. For those people who would like an inexpensive, ready-at-a-moments-notice, fun, knock-about acoustic lap guitar, something like this is worth considering. No fancy tools or jigs needed to build.

Here is a quick flash video to give you some idea of its sound. Sorry about the poor lighting.

Are we having fun yet?

No stand required! Just prop it up on its end. Cool!
