The Steel Guitar Forum

Here is a black walnut / quilted maple steel that I'm getting close to finished. A couple more coats of Tru Oil then the final rub out

You're just trying to take my mind off my deciding to get a new Strat!

LoL ... you know, they do come in 8 string too ... though this 8 is spoken for.

Tom, you've surpassed yourself. Where's the emoticon for "slobbering with lust"?

Nice work Tom. The control plate and palm rest are very nice touches. What pickup is going in this beauty?

Thanks guys, I love building them

Rich ... Its going to get a hand wound BG-Pups H90, its a humbucker sized P90 with a sweet open airy tone that gets aggressive when you dig in.

That's a beauty Tom, I love that teardrop design.

Love it.
Love it, love it, love it.

I am smitten.

I typically lurk in the background on the SGF but your designs and craftsmanship are something that I always enjoy! Stunning stuff

Thanks for posting your work!

Thanks all, as I've said before, its a great creative outlet for me.
I'll never be more than a woodshed'r, so my guitars will be my contribution to music.

Looks like you are going with the Electro Socket ?

I thought of one, and may end up using one, but I've got an Idea for a jack that might be cool.

Well, my subject pretty much asks the question.

Looking for your reply!

Hi Bill ... I have not done a 10 or 12 yet, but have been working on some preliminary drawings of an upscaled 10 string teardrop.
By doing a 6 x 4 tuner arrangement, I was able to keep the headstock a reasonable size and retain the tilt back strait pull with 3/8" spacing
