Custom lap steel built for me by Ken Wittman out of solid Corian. I wanted a lap steel that looked like it was made out of marble.
Routed in the back to reduce weight. Custom Rick Aiello horseshoe pick up. There is tarnish on the pickup from me sweating on it when I played.
Corian is more dense than Bakelite, so not quite as much sustain, but killer tone. Vol knob only.
This an eye-catching, crowd-pleasing instrument.
Comes w gig bag.
$400 + shipping

George, this guitar looks like it belonged to Gumby. It's making me dizzy.
I've bought lap steels from George; You can't go wrong. stevet

| LOL! Thanks, Steve! Yep, definitely has the Gumby look on the headstock. Short scale 22.5". Great fun to play. George |
