here is the paint job on this one





i was talking with mike about old pearloid covered lapsteels and he mentioned there was a paint effect he wanted to try.  overall i think it came out well

its a bit more vintage white than it looks in the photo's

Hi Wez, it looks like the finish is textured, but that could just be the camera.  It looks really interesting anyway!

How do work this arm? Does it goes off to the side or will ever be upside the bridge?

Looks cool!

push it down, pitch goes up.  it has two allen bolts in each arm to control the travel so its perfectly in tune

its currently tuned to open D which is D A D F# A D

with the arms i think i have it set up like this

D
A
D
F#---- G
A------B
D

or somehting like that anyway.  basically it gives pedal steel effects without a very expensive pedal steel.  I think duesenberg are making a modern equivelnt of the palm pedal and you can get more levers added and have them fold out the way - - - but they dont have the bigsby horseshoe.  massive fail!!

I'd love to see it in action. Never tried a lap steel myself but it's veeeeery interesting.
