I’m also considering offering a stainless steel bridge assembly with string anchor points and over-wound single coil pickup for 6, 7, or 8 string lap steel guitar construction as well as other items that would be of use to amateur builders.

I’ll probably offer it as a full size drawing that can be reproduced at the local Kinko’s for a small fee.

I’ll offer the finished drawing as a half-size PDF on my website for anyone to use as they see fit. If I could obtain the information from you folks as a starting point I could more easily produce a good construction drawing. Searching past postings on scale length and tuning preference seems to be as varied as the number of responses. Since I need to do a working instrument from the drawings I’d like to have a quick synopsis of 7 and 8 string details that I can work from without doing a ton of research.

(Others please feel free to chime in).įirst, Should I consider both 7 and 8 string instruments? I don’t know what the interest is for these varieties. To produce a construction print such as the free 6 string lap steel drawing on my website I’ll need some info from you guys. I could certainly CAD a print up for a 7 or 8 string lap steel if you think there’s enough interest. Since I play 6 string, and only in E and G tunings, I’m unfamiliar with the technical perspective of the 7 and 8 string lap steels. You guys have wet my curiosity as to the amount of interest in 7 and 8 string laps. You guys asked a few simple questions, so here goes my long-winded response. I have been looking all over trying to find plans and haven't been able to locate any.įrank, Lee, and Mel: (and everyone else…) Hi Randy, 3rd's on the thought of an 8 stringer. Seconds on the thought of an 8 string plan. Great plans! Any chance of an 8 string version? I really dislike sites with (1) Too busy backgrounds or (2) black backgrounds.

Thanks for the suggestion, the blue background will eventually be the home page only, with all the other linked pages done with the plain paper background.

You can now switch backgrounds at the top of the home page. Nice site-kind of hard to read all the good info with that busy blue background though. Hope some of you interested in building will take the plunge with a little encouragement! The plans are in PDF format and available as one sheet or 4 sections that can be printed and tiled together for a 12-3/4" by 17" scale print. Full printouts of both fret board layouts are also provided. The drawing has all details for both 22-1/2" and 24" scales and alternate bridge plate and pick guard ideas. The instrument plan is roughly patterned after an Oahu Tonemaster with the body profile scaled to match the shorter scale length. Thought I would pass along a free lap steel plan that I have posted on my website.
