Lap steel Leg mount sockets

Post by Jimmie Hudson »

Brand New Premium 1/2" X 13 threaded socket. These are machined from solid delrin rod stock. Very strong and lightweight. Compressive Strength is 15000 PSI. Threaded for lap steel guitar legs.
These tighten and fit better than aluminum. The sockets will last a lifetime. Self lubing no oil ever needed.
If you want 3 sockets, order 3. Fits lap steel guitar legs with 1/2x13 threaded stud.
This is what you need for your non pedal steel project to mount it on legs.
I had these sockets made here in the U.S.A. by a machinist on a C.N.C. machine so they are all made the same and come out very smooth and well made.
3 " diameter, 1/4" thick.

This material is Delrin Rod Stock machined in the U.S.A. This is a quality U.S.A. machined part not an import. These are $19.95 each plus shipping. Call 704-986-6481 8 AM to 9 PM EST

They look sharp.
Are they pre-splayed?

Yes the angle is pre milled into them so all you have to do if fit them flat to the bottom of your lap steel.

sockets

Post by Gary Rue »

Jimmy, Nice work. I wonder if I can run 3 legs as a option on the single neck string masters I'm building. I assume the degree of the angle is the same. I will do a mock up on a scrap and see how stable it is using used sockets I have. If I like it I will be offering it as a option and hopefully buy some from you.

very fair price.

Post by Gary Rue »

I'm looking forward to using these sockets. I build 3 at a time. One of my next three will steels will be a 3 leg. Nice price. These part offerings take a lot of effort. Catch you on the private side when I'm ready to order. Thanks.

I am working on making legs at this time. They will be ready to put on the market in about 3 weeks.
I want to get some made up and in stock before I list them on the market to sell.
Thanks, Jimmie
