I own a EH 150 lap steel and its my favorite.
I would like to try my hand at building one.
I can't help but wonder if there is a forum member that may have some building plans on how they were constructed. Seymour Duncan still makes the charlie christian pickup. Thankyou forumites.

Jason Lollar and a guy named Dominick Ramos also make CC pickups that are supposed to be quite good. Maybe Pete Biltoff as well (?).

I've got a '36 EH-150 myself. Love it.

You might email Bill Hatcher, who made a pretty slick D-6 here (middle of the page): http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=142193&highlight=build+lap+steel

Also there are plans in pdf format here: http://www.bluestemstrings.com/page3.html

Here is a lap steel that I built. This is probably
in the wrong place. The bridge is a les paul jr.
easy installed bridge. The fretboard maybe from
Tom Bradshaw. The pickup is a Carter Starter 10 string. The wood is maple but doesnt have to
be. Email me Here is a website http://www.buildyourguitar.com/resources/lapsteel/index.htm

I'd also recommend sticking with a Charlie Christian pickup.
