Sx lap steel

Post by Clayton Pashka »

I just wanted to post a pic of my sx lap steel that I just upgraded with a new bridge from trembley guitars. I am going to fly mod it so more pics to come.

Stupid iPhone. I just wanted to say that I will be adding more mods. Don't know what a fly mod is. Sheesh!

Put a vintage pup in it and it will sing with the best of them.

That's a much more sensible lap steel bridge than the graduated Les Paul style bridge they currently use. I look forward to seeing what other changes you make to your guitar.

My friend just recently upgraded his tele and has offered me his bridge pup to use. I will just have a bit of a routing job. I also grabbed new pots, capacitor and jack. The new pots are too big so I need to route the control plate area as well. Just not sure what to do with hiding the holes left from the old bridge.

For something cheap and easy, check your local hardware store, Lowes, Home Depot, etc, for some hole plugs. They just pop in and come in a lot of standard sizes in both plastic and chrome finishes.

You could hide the holes with a strategically placed chrome cover over the bridge.

One intended for a Fender bass might fit?
