Hi guys,
I know I'm not around that much, what with life in general, and just recently starting an OU ( Open University) course on the Technology of Music. At the mo I'm really struggling with it--the music theory quite a bit, but it's the Maths that's really hard. Not sure if I'll be able to carry on with it too much longer!!!
Haven't picked a guitar up in weeks to play  :'(
Probably a bit of a cheek to post this, but what the heck, I'm sure you'll forgive me ;)

Anyway, I did manage to get my latest project finished--this Lapsteel. It's solid Yew, and I made all the Stainless Steel hardware bits myself too, apart from the tuners and electric  bits  :D
I was going to do a vid and stick it on You Tube so everyone can hear what it sounds like as well, but just haven't had the time. I'll try to do something MP3 wise to at least post on here soon.

What do you think?
Cheers.
 
I always say, if I can leave somebody happy and smiling at the end of the day-----I've completely f*cked up!!

So organic! Definitely made with love and skill. Great work. You'll have to record something with it before you sell it!

That is one seriously beautiful looking lap guitar. If I had the money, I'd buy it!!

Whoops----sorry for the advertising link that was originally on here, didn't realise ( or more probably, forgot) it wasn't allowed :-[.
Thanks for the comments guys, still haven't even got a track done with it to post yet, let alone a vid. Life's just been pretty shit lately, no time,opportunity or inclination to get off my arse and play, or catch up on the forums for a while now.
Oh well, that's life :(
Cheers.

Oh yeh, this is another one of mine that was finished a while ago, can't remember if I posted this on here before or not! Not the best vid, I know, needs stuff doing to it, but there you go.
