Can anyone please give me an idea of what the approx weight of a 10 string lap steel is. In particular, the Derby 10 string.
Thanks
Howard. |

Can anyone ask Billy Robinson in Nashville?
He's got one of those very same, does he not? |

Thanks for trying Ray. No takers yet but if anyone can even give a calculated guess on not just the Derby but any 10 string lap, it would help  .
Regards

| A regular Wood body guitar would weigh in at around5-6 lbs. My new BAKELITE that I am building weighs in at around 9 lbs. Actually my new "Ricky" weighs about the same as my original 7 string Ricky. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works |

| My new "Bakelite" is a Taper Body with 1" thick solid Bakelite. I Use a George L Pickup and the people that have tried it really liked the sound. I believe I have retained the old RICKY sound and most think even more "Cleaner". It weighs around 9 lb.The design is made to be a 6-7-8or 10 string model. You can have any color so long as it is BLACK. ED |
