Finished lap steel with Daniel’s neck and my body addition. A vintage pickup, dark Mahogany control plates. Tone and volume. Bone nut and bridge. (The bridge was Daniel’s nut. I added position marker dots and scribed fret markings with a needle file.

Thanks Ambrose. Daniel’s neck is very beautiful. It’s the centerpiece of the guitar. There’s a steel bar glued to it’s underside that I have surrounded with my Mahogany plank and covered with a strip of wood to hide it. The steel is square stock and will never bow.

Hey Daniel. Yes those Waverly tuners are the best tuners i’ve Ever had. Sturdy, beautiful and work like silk. I’ve never sprung for Waverly’s. But now I will for something special. The scale length is 25 inches. I used your 12 fretmarking as my guide. The other markers didn’t seem to line up however so my dots are on slightly different places.

that is sweet. scale length shorter? call the tuning machines work ok? the g felt loose. (conventional tuning).

Comment by Daniel Walter on April 3, 2019 at 4:04am

mean't wowser. i guess the lines were scribed in the varnish? i don't think the dark wood was stained. helps having your drained/drafting background, those lines are straight!

Beautiful lap! Love the neck and overall shape!

It seems sturdy Daniel. I don’t think it will bow any time soon. It sounds good too.
