Steel Guitar Builder

Hi guys,

I just finished another squareneck reso, a single cone spider one, using the same mold I used for my tricone:











Wood is high grade tasmanian blackwood for top-back-sides, maple bindings and cocobolo fretboard

I reshaped the nut a little since I took the pictures, but I couldnt wait more 5 monthes of intensive work (It took me 3 weeks to bend the back to shape)

And I'm really happy with the sound, recorded just after I strung it. Cone and spider are Beard ones.

That is one sweet looking build. You did a great job my friend and it sound wonderful. Hope to see more from you.
