Steel Guitar Builder

Ok...i couldn't wait to post the pics , got it all back together today except for the pickup,rest pad,fretboard and strings, the guitar came out pretty good, this is only my second one and i've learned alot while building and finishing this one.

Here's some more.

I will post some more pics with the strings,pickup and fretboard installed and i'll try to make a sound sample also.

Simply Beautiful Pat, super clean and wonderful workmanship , thanks for posting . Russ

Here's the guitar with the fretboard , i'll post some more once i have the rest pad install...i'm still looking for some burgandy or wine,mahogany leather colors for the pad.

Pat, do you have a source for the leather? I have some here that may work for you. Let me know if you are still looking.

Hi Allan, what color is the your leather?...i'm interested if it's the right color kind of red mahogany.

I have a variety of colors Pat. I don't know how well I can reproduce them in a pic but I will give it a go and try to get something off to you tomorrow.

Allan.....

Pat, here are a couple of pics of pieces that may be of interest to you. The red one is slightly thicker than the brown one. I think either would take leather dye if you wanted to work with the colors.
PM or email if you are interested...

Regards, Allan.....

Hi Allen, thanks for posting the pics ... i'm not sure if those colors would work and i don't know if using leather dye would do a good job , when you stain leather do it still retain it's gloss?, i've never stained leather before so i'm in the dark here .
