Steel Guitar Builder

Thanks Bent. Just exploring what I need and how I want to do it. Depends mainly on funds!

Two questions re: Aluminum Keyheads... and thinking about the stepped solid keyheads.

I am looking to get started learning lap steel. I am looking a 3 different steels...

1) Rogue Jersey Lightning
2) Rondo SX-1 (single coil pickup)
3) Rondo SX-2 (P90 pickup)

I'm open to your thoughts.

Later, I WILL be building one (hopefully a D8 console).
