Wow.. some works of art, I'd have a hard time picking one.

I was inspired by the late Tom Pittingill he posted his steels on the steel forum an I got the itch too try an build lap steels from his design

Thank you Will these are all sold an many more are sold ;:: each ::: lap I made is different.
But if someone out there needs a lap steel I would appreciate the opportunity too build you one!

Stunning creations, Johnie!

Should I get good to be a good enough lap player with my current instrument, I may have to unleash you to build one for me..

My ZKing keyless 8-string. It's my daily driver, and I love it.
25” scale, BL 705 pickup, 2" solid mahogany body sustains like an opera singer.

Built by Johnie - customized by Eggie! Hopefully you approve - I left a "truth" window on the underside. I love this thing!

Here’s a cute little one I bought from Johnie a couple years ago. It was the basic model without a pick up, controls or tuners. I happened to have those kicking around my workshop. Super compact, very handy to take to a gig and lay on top of my pedal steel. Plus it sounds really good with the Alumitone pickup.
