Got my Melbert 8 String Lapsteel Today

Post by David Burns »

(The Wife) Honey, did you know you're shaking the entire house!

Boy is this thing loud! Especially the Lawrence Humbucker which is louder than the bridge single coil. I'm thinking about lowering the Lawrence but not before I talk to some of you in the know about these guitars...

Well built and sounds great, the controls have wide range of control too...

Was that the one with a 705 and a Truetone? That was a seriously nice one, the 8 string truetones are pretty rare and sound great.
