Does anyone have any ideas regarding concealed pickups? I am not sure what the point of it is. I think that the concealed PU would get noise from behind the bar. What does this idea add to the instrument? Confused, Allan..... Allan, i'm actually quite confused myself! The only thing that made me ev...

Does anyone have any ideas regarding concealed pickups? :) Do I have to have pups with very high output so that they can manage to pick up the string vibrations even though there's a piece of wood in between?

If that hook-up piece can vibr...

Hi everyone! I’m new to this forum and to the lap steel as well. I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years, but it would be interesting to try out something different. I have a couple of guitar related projects going on so I thought that maybe I could build myself a lap steel at the same time. I will ma...
