Thanks for that. I thought I had quite a few tuning, but you had a few that I didnâ€™t have.

Very nice LSG! I like that red.

I have 5 six strings, one husk waiting to be restored, and 3 builds going on.

Iâ€™m really close to Hershey...maybe 20 minutes.

Thanks Andrew! That's more than I found.

Hi Folks,

Originally posted in March 2015. I thought I'd try again.

Does anyone know a forum member or outside vendor that might have a Supro badge laying around? I need one that is circa 1947, ...

Nice looking Supro John. Mine is the MOTS as well.
Thanks for the tip on the bridge supplier. May I ask where you got the overwound Tele pup?

Thanks Tom.

Budget is not a problem. But it seems unrealistic to put a 165.00+ pup into a LSG that I paid 75 bucks for, or is that not unrealistic?

Thanks Mark. I am familiar with Lollar. I don't know if I can justify even 165.00, since that would exceed what I paid for the guitar. I don't know what I was thinking. I thought it would be a fun pro ...

I thought about a resto, but that would be the more expensive route. Plus, where am I going to find a Supro badge? Shocked

I play a little bit of everything, so it's hard to pin me down there. I have a P-90 I could throw in there. My Ric is set up for C6, so that covers the country side of things, plus Hawaiian. I have a ...

I bought a 1947 Supro that was stripped down to just the body. Even the Supro badge is gone. What pup would you guys recommend, and what nut would you recommend. I need a bridge too. I can probably fi ...

Welcome Charles,
Cool axe you got there. I love the Hawaiian girl. Nice effect.

David, that's easily the coolest lap steel I've ever seen. I'd love to hear a clip

I concur. What a sweet looking lap David.

Hi George ,
I'm in. I'm actually planing to build a New Yorker inspired lsg. Let me know when they are available.

If you want to know where the frets go, either copy where they are on another instrument with the same scale length, or email me at afbrookes@aol.com and I'll send you an Excel Spreadsheet that I wrot ...

Thanks George, Looks like I have enough ideas. Now it's time to implement one of them.

Thanks Guys for your replies. Sorry it took so long for my reply (see signature).

And nobody ever mentions the simplist and earliest method from back in the 30's and 40's and 50's, the A Major Tuning. I still play it, and I still teach it - (locally)!!!!!

Welcome John,
Did you get the Rogue yet? If so, can you post a pic or two?

JH

Thanks George,
How does your round bar stock attach to the guitar? And do you have a link to purchase these parts?

JH

What sort of string spacing and string height at the bridge are you looking for?

Good question Dustin. Probably 3/8" spacing at the nut and 11/32" at the bridge. Then either 3/8" or ...

Hi All,
I'm looking for a nice looking bridge for a string-through body set-up for a lap steel build. Preferably something rounded so that it's easy on the strings. I know that some guys economize an ...
