I'll share the work of the late/great Julian "Winnie" Winston.

Here are some pictures:

will take you to his write-up on this guitar and how it came to be and evolved over time.

I wonder why some of the older pics don't show? Is it just my computer???

Wish we could see the older pics!!!

The pictures are either gone, or they have been moved to a location other than where the original link is pointing.

thank you, beautiful guitar, this brings back many memories, in 1988 when I started playing steel, I had Winnies book to help me start... those are the happiest days in my entire music career , discovering something new every day, playing with the friends, and enjoying music... I think I lost the fun part somewhere along the way, in some honky-tonks playing "sweet home Alabama" ... ha well ... maybe one day I will go back to Europe and play some country music again lol

This is my first build and I made everything except the keyhead, tuners, pickup, legs and changer base. Just used basic hand tools, $70 drill press and a Shopsmith. Maybe not as nice as some but I sure enjoy trying to learn and playing it everyday

great job David, wonderful guitar

This is my home made

You can do a "search" on Bcon. Pictures of a home made steel I bought back in the spring. I made a few adjustment and now it plays good. I still can't find out anything about it.
