Looks great! Does in come in left handed?   

[StevieM]

Hey, I got a pic to come up----I'm gettin' good at this technical bit

I can make them left handed, upside down, inside out----or any combination. LOL

Like the lap steel - I keep wondering about getting one (or possibly even making one).

What's the pickup?

Here you go Andy--the specs. I should've put them up before!

Frets and markers are made from a special resin.
Nut, Bridge, Control Plate, Pickup Surround, Rear String Retainers and
Jack Plug are all individually hand made from Stainless Steel.

If you want to have a go at making one, I'll help you out if you like. Either start a thread about it ( so everyone can see), PM, or e mail me.
If you do go for it, you can always give me a call
Cheers.
