they look great!
One question:
do they actually have real frets or just markers?

Thanks! The ones pictured on the website have markers, but I certainly will do real frets if someone wants them. I do LOTS of fretwork at my other job (guitar repair), so I'm very familiar with it.

A couple of nice-looking guitars there, the Lapcat and the Lapster.



Just an observation, if you're thinking of extending the line; Hawaiian guitarists would most of the time prefer seven or eight-string lap steels, which allows more flexibility when using C6 tunings, etc., and if you left more space at the bridge end you could offer such options as Duesenberg Multibender palm levers, or the Hipshot Trilogy multi-tuning bridge.

Keep it up. They look very promising. Cool

Thanks for your suggestions Alan. I am considering more strings, but not sure about what to use for bridges. Obviously I'm open to suggestions! Thanks!
