Lap Steel De Ferre

A small clip to show how this guitar sounds. I designed it and built it myself using quite cheap materials. I made a few mistakes during its construction, but it's still playable. The total cost of the guitar remained well under hundred euros. A nice experiment to do.

The body is made from ash wood, the pickup is a gold lace sensor (second hand) and the bridges are made from steel available in any DIY shop.

This is also my first aproach to the C6 tuning (here tuned down to A6). I'm playing a rough and instant arrangement of a very well known tune. Nothing special.

I'm playing through a tiny micro cube amplifier, using the acoustic channel.

A couple of photos of this guitar can be seen in here:
