Harley D Lap Steel!
Its a 7 stringer, tuned C6, dual humbuckers with 3 way and individual Vs n Ts, 1/4" plate aluminum nut and a giant bolt for the bridge!
1/4" plate aluminum fretboard with black spray sealant coating.
Plate aluminum spine and other structure. All mounted on 3/4" sealant coated plywood!
I had to make some fold up legs for it because it is quite heavey. The legs will adjust to a standing height for play too.
It sounds as badass as it looks too!
The sustain goes on forever!
Gregg looks like he is happy on his 50th Birthday!
