Stereo Hollow Body Electric Lap Steel - Horizon

Post by Scott Walker »

Greetings Fellow Sliders!
Im proud to officially release the new hollow body electric lap steel out to the world. This instrument features:

- 24 3/8" Scale length
- Fully Chambered Maple body
- Ebony fingerboard
- 1/2" thick bridge, inlaid and bolted on through the back
- Lollar Goldfoil and String through pickup
- Volume and Tone controls for each pickup
- Stereo/Mono Switch
- Nitrocellulose Satin Lacquer

With a stereo "Y" cable, each pickup can be routed to its own amplifier, giving infinite tonal blending options.
Or with a standard Mono cable, select the "mono" setting on the toggle switch and blend each pickup in via their own volume controls.

Price - $4500

Unreal beauty and obvious craftsmanship. With that pickup combo it's got to sound fantastic as well. I'm off to sell some plasma!

I played the prototype version of this lap steel at our first ever lap and non-pedal steel gathering last month at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in the SF Bay Area. An amazing instrument. And the headstock badge alone is an incredible piece of work.

Scott is a true artist and craftsman, and a great guy to boot!
