8 string lap steel

Post by Felix Blevins »

I have the first custom made 8 string lap steel built by Ryan Rukavina. It is immaculate and has hardly been played. It also comes with the carry case that came with the guitar. I don't have any pictures but you can find some in the archives on the forum. The guitar is approximately 4 years old. If you have any questions that I can answer I will be more than happy to. The price for the guitar and case is $750 delivered in the lower 48. It has a Wallace Tru-tone pickup on it and sounds great.The price is firm and I am not interested in any trades.

8 string lap steel

Post by Felix Blevins »

The Custom made 8 string lap steel make by Ryan Rukavina can be found at RukavinaGuitars.com. He shows several pages of pictures of guitars he has built. This 8 string follows a picture of a 6 string lap steel that is pretty much a copy of the 8 string guitat that I have listed. I had him build the 6 string for me as an almost identical one that I had purchased from him.
Thanks for your inquiry,

There's like a half-dozen eight strings there! What wood is it made out of, can you identify it, are you "Nicko"...?

Please post a picture of your instrument, or a link to the pictures. Instead of sending potential buyers on a wild goose chase for pictures. Thanks.

Go to screen 6 of 9 of the gallery.
The first gallery pic had a comment from "Felix" when you do a "mouse-over".

Brad,
The post with pictures from Peter den Hartogh is the correct guitar. The woods use are ash and walnut.
