What about Michael Stevens who makes the guit-steel for Junior Brown? He's making more of them for sale to the general public and he must be getting the pans somewhere.

Does anyone know of anyone currently making tuner pans for Stringmasters ? I'm probably clutching at straws, but sometimes the remote offchance comes up positive.

I'm looking for two.

Kluson has/had some for Stringmasters. About 35 bucks American:

Whether they are an exact fit to your guitar is an unknown.

There's a few vintage Fender pans on eBay as of this writing under "lap steel."

I imagine, after ten years, Cindy has probably found what she needs by now. :lol:

Yeah Alan, most likely Cindy is copacetic on the parts issue by now.:)

Posterity's sake, as I am just now looking at lap steels, the Stringmaster looks like one of the good ones through the years.

The steel forum has a great search link to the net and many times a search will link back to past or present threads on topics on this forum.

Good to know when looking for parts and ideas in future.

Timeless information.

While we're at it, found this highly informative steel forum thread on the Fender laps:
