Now I have realised I can upload some images via my Ipad (will try not to be a pest) I wish to show and tell my Asher EH-6/24 that I commissioned from Bill about this time last year.
I had seen these lap steels on a 2017 Namm youtube video and could not resist ordering one as I had just sold a B6 and a 30,s Dobro cast Aluminium so felt justified (the wife counts the cases not the content).
As luck would have it as I was specking the build over the internet (custom options etc)when Bills wife mentioned they had a reclaimed Koa table from the 1970,s that was ripe for guitar bodies so in the mix it goes, I will let the pictures tell the rest but it is lovely, tactile with the French carve and if I am honest an instrument not deserving of my abilities, but a good one will always drag you up a peg or two.
Bill was going to market these as an alternative to his other lap steels but they have still to feature much in his work and publicity.
