The most fun you can have with your clothes on.... possibly!!
« on: April 16, 2009, 09:21:21 PM »
just got this put together for a test fit and its left me giggling to myself





its a 25.5" scale lapsteel fitted with 10k piledriver tele pickup and a bigsby palm pedal.

tuning is open e.  E,B,E,G#,B,E and the palm lever raise the pitch of the 2nd string to C# and the 3rd to A... at least thats how i have it at the moment

unfortunatly i now have to take it apart to  finish it off and get it sprayed - it will be a slightly off white colour possibly with a hint of pearlesence

not too much of a problem with lapsteel technique, you can work around it depending how and where you rest you hand

not for sale folks - spoken for already

That is ... silly PDT_008.

Looks great so far, and if it's anywhere as nice as the other one you did when it's completed, I'm sure it'll be a stunner!

so far i am liking it a lot more than the red one. 

the full scale length with not quite as heavy strings feels more natural, it sits better in the lap so you dont have to reach for your pocket watch to play high up... and it has levers that do funny things.

i think the 10k piledriver was a good choice too

another good thing was that it sits nicely on the leg like a normal guitar for tuning - i never like having strings directed towards my face when tuning to high tensions
