Jason DuMont at Lap Ling Guitars is selling this beautiful special lap steel with "frosted duco" hardware:







23" scale length. "Dobro-style" slotted headstock. The body is made of Korina (like many early Gibson solid bodies) and the pickup is a Lollar Charlie Christian (a great pickup!). Ebony fretboard and binding on the fretboard and headstock.

The price is only $800!!! Jason builds lap steels for Jerry Douglas, and his standard models start at $1400. The Lollar Charlie Christian pickup alone costs $250! Jason's guitars are fantastic (I just got a custom Lap King Rodeo myself) and he is a very nice guy. This lap steel is a beautiful bargain!

Jason is selling it to finance a vintage Tricone he is buying. If you are interested, send me an MP and I will send you Jason's e-mail address.
