Beautiful lap steels! What types of wood? Pups? What kind of finish did you apply?

Those are sweet! Nice lines, great attention to detail. Are those the repro Fender wide-range humbuckers or the GFS version? Tell us more -- and let's hear some clips!

Hi GP have a nice cup of Espresso!

Body is mahogany, and top is Zebrawood, and Flamed-curly maple for the "f" holes version. Nitro cellulose satin lacquer.

Yes Peter, pick ups ( GFs) are the same for booth models, very Bright pick ups!

Let's talk about Headstock :wink:

The link doesn't work. It takes you to the European Steel Guitar Forum, from where none of the subsequent links work, unfortunately. :(

Alan, all subsequent links BY ME do work, unfortunately the other links were on a Free-Serve of a server and consequently were lost.. I hate it when the continuity of a post is lost because of a lack of diligence regarding the content..

Roberto, mi dispiace per la deriva in tema .. La chitarra è bella, ma non riesco a capire perché ha due pickup, Gibson, Rickenbacher, Nazionali e Fender ha utilizzato solo un pick-up e sicuramente lavorato per loro .. Grazie tu per tu gentilezza nel mostrarci le foto .. Magnifico...

ci siamo divertiti
