8-string lap steel

Looking to purchase an 8-string lap steel with

> short scale length (22-1/2” +/-)
> 3/8”+ string spacing
> small-size body for lap
> Cover over the bridge (I set my palm on the bridge cover of my reso and BR-9)

Looks don’t matter much, just tone. Prefer already set up in high C6 with decent tuners and pickup, but would consider something older that needs work.

Thanks for the offer, James. A couple quick questions:

What's the scale length on that Morrell?

Think it's the same model as currently offered by Elderly Instruments?

The scale is 22 3/4 inches with my rule. Yes it is the same guitar at Elderly. I made the bridge cover and added it.
