This has been progressing very slowly, but now that I'm between jobs, I will hopefully be able to use some of that time to get a move on with it.
Learning that I need lots of practice with routers, drill presses and other power tools.

Interesting project and wish you lots of luck with finishing it off.
Looks like a humbucker will be installed?
Nice !, I'll be watching this thread with interest.
I found the router made me the most nervous with many beers needed for a calming effect...
Lapsteels are great fun and opened up a whole new worlrd of various Tunings for me.
What scale did you go for?
....and unlike me you got all the fret markers in the correct spots, i stuffed mine up :mad:Quote:

i drilled the holes for markers in wrong spot, see the 12th is right but 14th isnt
Mere details! There is no rule that says you have to have a dot on the 15th fret!
I've stripped the Bill Lawrence humbucker and the Wilkinson tuners from my previous lapsteel. Its been a great learning experience so far.Quote:
