I tried clicking on the link to your web site and got a site that has nothing to do with guitars....there's a note on the page stating that your site has been hacked....it even has the hacker's name on the page. I tried clicking your email address to inform you, but I couldn't get email to send to that address.
Beautiful guitar!

Very strange, everything works fine now. But for a while there was a really nasty message there, with the hackers logo and all, plus a link to photos of civilian casualties from some massacre in Turkey or Algerie (can't remember which)......

Way too cool, Rick. Is it the 40-lb. behemoth you projected?
Also, since the body of the Bronzepan was especially resonant-- how's that bad boy sound?
And people say the Sierra Laptop is a load--this might be the first lap steel ever to require a "spotter"...

That's the heaviest guitar I've ever held. Ken Parker of Parker Guitars once made a guitar of concrete and it wasn't nearly as heavy as this.
Beautiful job, dude. It looked awesome unfinished, too. |

Till I get a chance to record something ... or get Mike or The Hula Monster over to give it a-go .. and capture them "live"... ...
I'll just say ...
This is the first steel that I have been able to easily tune my sixth string (C#) by matching the following "chimes" :
The (A) string ... chimed at the C# (a hair toward the nut - off the 4th fret) ...
To the ...
The (C#) string ... chimed at the C# (about 1/3 the distance to the bridge - off the 2nd fret)
I'm talkin' as loud and clear as most of my Rickys harmonics are ... at the 12th fret ... 
And yes ... its a tad over 40 lbs ... but on a stand it feels the same as any other one ... 
What is a "bother" is the patination ...
I polish it up (I like shiney stuff) ... and in two days its starting to form multi-colored patina.
I will lacquer it ... when I have some time.

The Stradivarius of the lap steels is born! This is a real "MaestroPiece" ! Gives you a good feeling to finally see all that hard work converted into hard tangibility,doesn't it?
Great job!!!

Maybe I should submit it to the Guinness Book folks ...
"Worlds Heaviest Hawaiian Steel Guitar" ...
Maybe I'd win a case of stout or something ...

There's something about that--I just want to touch it...to run my hands over it. No joke.
As to the patina---I'm a sucker for honest patina. Could have its own beauty. |

| Hey Rick, fantastic steel you made there. I was just at a fairly new guitar store here in town that does a lot of pick up replacements and the guys there had heard of you! Take care... |

Yup, for what it's worth . . .my girlfriend is a faux finisher/decorative artist she gets paid good $$$ to patina walls, furniture etc. I say go with it, think of it as the 'finish that keeps on changing', or 'the guitar that's easy being green' . . .
p.s. uhhhh, by the by, how're my shoes coming along? |
