Pine body, ash top and back, brass pickguard, maple neck, koa fingerboard. All recycled from other projects
[warning: this is a old picture and the pickup is different than this but I am going to swap out the one I have in it currently to go in a different project, am thinking about putting a P90 in it..]

Warning:

I've heard a rumor that if you get too close, Mudfuzz'll try to stab you with that headstock!

If you think that is scary then you won't be able to handle the one I am planning to build...
Really everyone gives me shit about that headstock.. And don't even remember why it's shaped that way

Is there any reason I couldn't get some pine, poplar or oak from Home Depot and turn it into a lap steel?
I mean, like, in terms of construction. I wouldn't expect it to be high-quality toanwood or whatever.

I saw some pine stair tread that looked good and felt dry...

I think you can probably turn almost any slab of wood into a lap steel.

drolo · Post by **drolo** » Wed Oct 24, 2018 3:54 pm

no reason at all, go for it, as long as it is strong enough to hold the hardware.
toan, as we all know is in the hands anyway

The body on mine is a piece of pine from a old book shelf.. also weren't 40's fenders pine? or was that just tele prototype thing? Hell I've seen skateboards turned into lapsteels.

i've seen lap steels made of Masonite, and the old Rickenbacker that David Lindley used and i covet was made of Bakelite.

This has become my main one for portability and function but I also have an 8 string in Weissenborn shape (I also have an 8 string Weissy):
