Sort of G&L related

[guitar_ed]

Hi All,

For some reason, I can not post pix to the site today. It's an on going problem for me.

But... I can post a link to pic, so I have done that. This pic is a family pic of the lap steels I have built, all using the G&L saddle lock bridge. 2 of the LSs use G&L pups.

The three on the left have P-90s for pups, all different vendors. The HB looking pup is actually a TV Jones Filtertron. Then a Z coil, and a soap bar from an ASAT Special.

Time to see if the Sharks can beat the Blues & make the Stanley Cup for the first time.

Nice family shot !
You've been busy.
How about a close up of the one flamey one on the right ?


I had to use the timage tag and enter the dimensions to get the pic to work,
maybe the img tag isn't working right, or maybe because it's in a 'trash' folder...I dunno.
Try the timage tag, that might work for you

What's your kinda slides do you like?

Nice stuff Ed!! You use some high quality bridges on each of them too!

Hi,

Same pic, slightly bigger size. Trying to work with Photoshop & the board, using different interpretations of the same things is a PITA. But I think I figured it out. In PS set resolution = 100 pixels per inch, the set size. Then set timage code.

Pic of "flamey" LS to come.

Very nice! What did you use to mount the Z-coil?

Cho, I cut up a PG I had from somewhere. I did such a CRAPPY job of the routing job I had no choice.

Hello,

Hey Elwood

The LS Special is flame maple. The pix don't show the flame on the fretboard real well, but you can sort of see it... A little......

So I included a pic of the bridge/pup area where the flame really shows up. The flame also shows up on the sides real well.




Later,

The super-comfy saddle-lock is an inspired choice for a lap steel!
You've been doing some neat work, and hopefully now having fun with the results.
I would love one with a Z-coil, preferably a WR one; probably my all-time favourite back pup.
Nice work

Hey Nick,

It's not hard to do. Cut the center piece of wood 2.875" wide, then route the nut, then a .5" wide slot across the wood for the bridge. Do the frets, glue on the wings, & shape the headstock. EZ PZ.

If you want more detailed info on how to do this, let me know.
