Biscuit Box Lap Steel Guitar

A clip to show how this Biscuit Box Lap Steel Guitar sounds. It was made in around four hours work with cheap materials bought in the local DIY shop. Only the tuners (and the strings) are specifically designed for guitars.

The purpose of this project is to insert the construction of such a simple instrument as a prelude to a workshop on how to play lap steel guitar. That way the students will build their own instrument in a few hours before learning some chords and techniques.

Great stuff. This is easily the 2nd best tin guitar I've heard (the best is your standard biscuit box guitar). I'm humbled. Wish i could play like you too!

No tengo ni idea de cómo es esa guitarra.

Yo tengo una Ibanez af120, de jazz, y estoy muy contento con ella.

what's the best way to get lessons? it doesnt seem as easy to get lessons on you tube like you can for the regular guitar?

[pacisablo]

Very creative to do an instrument and to give him a good sound as vos, a doubt, which sane you use??? For acoustics, electica or other one

------------------------------­---------------And another doubt all is the distance between fret and fret Thank you very much Atte: Bisho0op

Sound Great. I had to read the comments

to see if it was acoustic. I build a steel with a tuna can as the resonator. The frist time I mounted a piezo pick up under the tuna can and attached it to the bridge. I had a second electro magnect pick wtih a blend pot. Just the tuna can was pretty rauscous. In the middle, a little to the magnet pick up was good. When I rebult I put them both togeather but had the piezo pick up on a 3/4" board in the Tuna Can - a Tunabro. Nice Playing.
