  3. Vintage Lap Steel c.1950s

    November 23, 2016

    20161103_131642Now I want to tell you a story about this beasty. We bought this Lap as a rough shaped piece of timber, a cool box and an even cooler hand wound pick up which still worked! We then set about bringing her back to scratch. This is what we’ve done

    1. refinished the  body in a black and brown hue whilst fabricating re pro vintage tort cover plates for the electronics section.
    2. Re line the case/box.
    3. We then installed new electronics and shielded the electronics  cavities. (she’s very quite for such an old single coil pick up).
    4. We then set up the lap with a brass (hand made) bridge, tail piece and ebony nut.

    The tone is very vintage with the pick up having the character of an old P90.and the sustain is epic. Demo videos available on request

    $575.00

  4. “Craig” Custom Lapsteel

    DSCF7336“Craig” lap steel (with a difference)

    Made in the US of A, the unique feature here is the Pat Pending tilt adjustable neck. A real piece of history. We can tell you that this is a 50’s baby. The addition of a genuine Gretsch roller bridge and pick up gives amazing tone and just look at that Pin striping!

    Again the talented hand of Duane Brown (www.browncocustoms.com)

    DSCF7114National Rosita Resonator Guitar

    America was not yet to enter the war when this baby was made. However the USA was building some fine instruments. This is one example of that time. We’ve brought her back to life with a neck reset and refret, everything is ready to go and the vintage tone shines. At $2900 here is a chance to have a pre war dream.

    Stella lap steel

    DSCF5508

    You know, sometimes our little parlor guitars just scream out to be …well something different.

    To that end, that’s exactly what we’ve done here. The P90, the gilded paint work, the roadwearing, all come together to make something truly unique. Some will love it, some, not so much, but boring she is not.

    For those who choose to love this one off vintage treasure
