Thank God,i started thinking allready, to much ahead for there time i think and not every body did get the violin i think, but still great vibration in the songs! Greetszz
Hi Jabes, i measured my Rickenbacher Electro. There's just 3/16 inch wider at the last fret mark from the nut width. They are not as tapered as a regular guitar. Wider string spacing is common also.
Hey Jabes, yes most all lap steels taper the fretboard. Not a lot but some. Also, the strings don't go all the way to the edge of the fretboard as you aren't reaching around the neck. That lets you see the string on the edge. Lap steel is very visual for me. I have to look at the neck and see the strings and fret markings.
No worries Jabes. I might consider it somewhere down the line. I'm sure we can work something out if you'd like me to make you another though! Rock on mate.
Hi jabes ma man. I deleted vid as was tiidying up ma channel vids.

The Shepherd Neame carrier was a christmas gift, came with a nice tall pint glass etched with the logo and three bottles of beer. Comes in very handy for carrying tools when I desert the shed in this cold weather
Hey Jabes, i finally got a message through. Thought i was going crazy. I use Suntec too. They've worked out great on many items like tuners, electronics. I think i see how to get a message to you. It doesn't work when i try to respond to your message, only if I come direct to you to get through. I just had the same problem with Uncle John, now i know how to fix it....
Hey Jabes, yes waiting for parts. I wait for glue to set and clay to dry too. I'm always waiting on parts from China (reasonable prices). It must be hard to send on off part done. It's real nice already, so it will be fun to see someone else's take on it with the burn job. I've sure seen some nice artwork burned on CBN lately. Some real artists out there. Ain't it neat that we can get to know each other via this site and see so many great builds? Have a great new Year and may your parts all fit....
