Greetings. Sorry I put this in For Sale by mistake ( I am a Rookie!). Curious what is out there! I am looking but not in a hurry.
Hi everyone. I am new here and to Lap. Just switched to it from guitar to save my thumbs and having a ball. I have a nice old 1957 Gibson BR6 that I am enjoying but would like a suggestion for a small and easier to travel with Lap. Something smaller, durable and light weight. My current is near 30 inches and would love to get that down and lighter. I wound't mind a smaller scale as I think it would challenge me to be a better player. I travel alot and something that fits in a backpack (may stick out) or suitcase would be great. Greatly appreciate your suggestions. Thanks! |

Contact Sonny Jenkins and ask him to tell you about the custom practice boards he's making for me. You might them or something close. Good luck

The Rogue RL-S1 is probably the smallest commercially available lap steel.
You could also get a travel guitar and put an extender nut on it to raise the strings.
If you want something smaller, consider having something made.
