I added some of my own touches to the classic 2X4 lap steel design. From a common 2X4 comes a really great sounding instrument. The finish took a long time with the metallic. Other than that it was a pretty easy build.

I'll be the first to say it:  I LOOOOOOOVE SPARKLE PAINT!   Probably from ogling the Silvertones at Sears so much when I was a kid. . .

Holy cow... a Jim Morris comment. It's always good to get an "attaboy" from one of the best builders/players on CBN. Thanks for checking out the video.

Great build Poorness! Thanks for explaining the whole thing to us. Sounds fantastic!

Comment by Poorness Studios on August 20, 2019 at 2:15am

Thanks Danny, Richard, & AD. Glad you fellas like the build. I need to spend some more time with it to get that Nashville sound but... it seems like a good build.
