Almost completed Pacetti 6 string Lap-Steel, 24 3/4" scale with basically a two octave/plus reach. Its been an interesting design and build project. I tried to go for an Art-Deco design of my own, I think I'm sort-of there. Comes with a Seymour Duncan , the Cool Rail pkup. Its a humbucker thats trying to be a single coil variety,,,,I have it with a push/pull volume switch that splits the humbucker to a single coil, also there's space left to insert a second pick-up later if needed. The darn thing sounds great, i've been keeping it in a G6th tuning most the time. The primary wood is Mahogany, a solid block thru to the tip of the headstok. Secondary woods are Maple, Koa, Rosewood and the fingerboard is Brazilian Rose
wood. It has a solid Brass nut and solid Brass
Palm-rest, I made the bridge from a chunk of Aluminum. The Palm rest swivels to reveal the string-thru bridge mount. There's two Koa cover plates, one for the electronic potentiometers etc. and the other for the 1/4 inch jack and also has a small storage area for a possible second steel slide picks etc. The fret markers are inlayed maple... I intend to give this model a name but it hasn't revealed itself .
Still Remaining
