Did you get your template from G&W? @mattbeels Yes indeed!

Looks great @koendb, congrats! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the V, those are pretty much my favorite guitars. Did you get your template from G&W?

Yes @TV101 it’s taught me to get @boo to do it. Thankfully he’s just downt road

Touché Yup. That was the problem, IIRC. The conditions of entry definitely said *no* touché. 😏

Thanks guys non the less 👍🏻

Oh but thanks for the welcome 🙄

Welcome @Deej. Though 15k is the new 10k nowadays .... 😆

I’m going to paint a guitar with rattle cans this summer OK @Boo - I'll have to send you a body too 😊

@Deej ... so, the plan; Bandsman shape. Semi-hollow thin body (ie not a Jazzer) "3/4-thru" laminated neck (through to bridge posts). Carved solid top, with some non-f-holes. Laminated sides & bac...

Thanks Boo.....you're all so kind. As the string spacing is wider than a guitar on the lap steel, a normal slide wasn''t wide enough hence making this.
