Matt Randall Guitars - lap steels made in the UK

Post by Matt Randall »

Hi all,
I'm Matt, I build lap steels in the north of England.
Three different styles available at the moment, all handmade and fitted with pickups custom wound in the UK.

Model 1: electric Weissenborn style. 660mm (26") scale, semi-hollow body.

Model 2: hollow body Gibson EH style. 620mm (24.4") scale, bent sides - hollow body.

Model 3: based on a Fender Studio Deluxe. 600mm (23.6") or 620mm (24.4") scale

Thank you chaps.
I've not made an 8-string yet, John. Yours could be the first though...!

Those are some of the most beautiful lap steels I've seen. If I were looking for another lap, I'd sure be talking to you.
God bless,
Roger
