So finally some nice shots & sounds of one of the lapsteels I made a couple years ago. BC maples, honduran mahogs, handshaped brass nut, growling cabrera pups…and a custom wooden body wedge to keep Mike’s playing upright & outstanding. Go see THE JARDINES! Bas

Another pickup cavity shielding job – it looked like this lapsteel was smiling at me all along, wouldn’t you agree?
Anyways, aluminum tailpiece was the original ground, not very effective, so we had to solder in a whack of copper shielding to that as well, helped a lot but be wary of aluminum tailpiece.
