Bird's Eye Maple Lapsteel

Paul Norman · From: Washington, North Carolina, USA

I built this with birds eye maple with several coats of clear automotive lacquer.
Les Paul Jr. style bridge from Stew-mac. Fretboard from Bill Creller. Pickup Starter Carter.
Tuning keys-Stew mac.

Very nice, Paul! So now we need the details - scale, components (fretboard, nut, bridge, pickup) and most of all, how's it sound and play?

Thanks for posting your handiwork.

22 1/2 scale
Les paul style bridge from stew mac
nut 1/2 inch aluminum hand-made
left and right 3 keyheads from stew mac
Carter Starter 10 string pickup
Bill Creller fretboard. ( 22 1/2 scale )
Radio shack volume control on side.

It sounds good. This pickup is made for pedal steel
so it has plenty of get-up to it.

Paul, I'm looking for a nice 6-string fretboard similar to the one you're using. What material is yours made from? Or Bill, if you're listening in, could you tell me more? Or could anybody point me in the direction of a supplier?

Good job Paul, that looks like a nice chunk of birdseye Smile
