I don't claim to be an expert, but I have found this approach useful. From bass to treble the notes are C E G A C E. I told a friend about my build, and he asked me whether I could build something for him, too he tours a lot, and plays pedal steel (but not as his main instrument) - so he wants to try whether a lap steel with a Duesenberg Multibender can replace his pedal steel for the couple of songs he would like to use it live.8 string lap steel semi-flat wound sets (C6th, E13th, E7th, A6th) The chart below is from GHS strings, but I have no personal preference in the brand of strings that I use on my musical instruments. I also just got one of those awesome lap steel stands from Mark Roeder - I figured I can use it with my old steels, and also attach it to this new build, so I have more option than if I had just gotten legs & sockets (and with shipping & customs figured in, it wasn't much more expensive than simply getting parts): I also got a set of Veritas cornering tools, to help me get nice rounded edges without using a router - will have to do some practicing with those before I use them on my steel. Got a piece of aluminium (5mm thick) that is going to form the base of my steel still needs a lot of sanding, then I'm going to paint it - something in the seafoam green - daphne blue continuum, with the maple and mahogany, and that color I'm shooting for a bit of a late '40s Woody station wagon look. Guys, sorry about not posting any updates for a while - but first I had to wait for parts, and then I didn't have any time for working on my build - hope to get a bit more done in the next few days. Oh, and I'm thinking about adding a boo-wah button, like on some old Gibson and Magnatone console steels. I'm also thinking about adding an aluminium base to the back of the neck - it is relatively thin (27mm - slightly ove one inch), and that might add some stability & sustain (like on Sierra lap steels - kind of the inverse of the way Clinesmith do it on their Bigsby remake lap steels - alu neck on a wooden back). One more thing I did first, though: glued up some strips of maple and mahogany, for the "wing" that holds the volume and tone pots:īTW, haven't decided yet, whether I'm going to use that fretboard in the picture (bought it from someone on the SteelGuitarForum a long time ago) - on the one hand it would save a lot of time (compared to, say, inlaying strips of maple veneer into a darker fretboard blank), on the other hand it looks too white/bright/clean for what I have in mind - maybe I'll try warming it up with a bit of amer shellac, like I did with my Chapman 7-string Tele OK, enough for today, better clean up all the mess in the kitchen before my girlfriend comes home from work. Yeah, I know, looks pretty rough compared to something made with a template and a router - but I think it will look OK after I give it some attention with a file and some sand-paper.
