New 8 String Stainless Lap Steel

Post by Jon Ward »

This is a new 22.5" scale length stainless steel 8 string prototype I've been working on with a noiseless Sentell pickup.
The strings are setup for A6 tuning with a string spacing of 0.393"

Looks like a beauty! At first glance I thought you had used a string leveling style nut, which i think is a great idea—surprised it’s not used more. Probably a hassle to build?

A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

That's a beauty. George Jetson would love it!
