It's listed on Reverb at $1200 plus $60 shipping.

But, directly via PayPal or Venmo and absent Reverb's absurd fees, I'd be at $1120 - and will include continental US shipping at no added charge

Please write me here or through my website if interested in a direct purchase.
I'll make a donation to the Forum if the buyer makes the connection of finding the steel here.

Locking 18:1 tuners, 11Kohm humbucker with coil-cut option(push/pull tone knob), quality sustaining bridge, bison bone nut, CTS master volume and tone controls.
Comes strung C6 with SITs.
Add $25 for gig bag.

Hi, Ryan. What's the total length of this guitar? I want to see if it would fit in a custom case that Kevin Hatton made for me for the 24 5/6" scale 8 stringer you built for me. I'm horribly tempted; I have Rukavinitis and can't shake it.
Emerald Solace acoustic laps and Rukavina steels. Can't play, but I try!

SIT, Holly, and Wenge

Post by Jameson Koweek »

Susan,

SIT refers to a brand of steel guitar strings. Stands for Stay In Tune. Holly and Wenge are both types of wood, referring to the construction of the lap steel.

Hope this helps
