There has been numerous threads about playing guitar, as I'm a guitar player, I also play steel guitar. I have decided to build them. This is my first project. It came out better than I could have hoped for.

Somebody in Revenge of the Nerds played one, can't remember who though the little guy maybe.:D

Sorry, I have nothing useful to add but that popped in my head as soon as I saw steel guitar. That is cool looking though.

I play guitar, just never played a steel guitar. That's why I wondered what all went into it. If making a one is fairly cheap, I could make one and try it without a lot of investment....I always have more time than money.

Once again, it looks awesome!! How does it sound?

That looks awesome! I'd love to give one of those a try. How hard are they to play?

I play a 58 P-Bass our steel player plays a Showbud Pro II 8 and 4.
You do nice work, What kind of P/Us. We need some guys to bring some gear to CB-08 and we could jam a bit.
