They also come in chrome for split shafts:

I could see those on a Trussart, but maybe not so much on this.

The heavy knurled Tele knobs are out...

If I do wood I'm going to use the barrel knobs in rosewood.

There is very little rosewood on the steel but enough to tie it together!

Re: First mod to lap steel...

Can you post some clips? I would love to hear it. What amp are you playing it through?

Re: First mod to lap steel...

I'm not really set up to do clips but I'm thinking about taking it to the gig Friday, maybe something will turn up from that...if so I'll post it.

I'm playing it thru my regular guitar amps, pedal board too...mostly a 1962 Fender Deluxe.

I'm not really playing lap steel in the clean country, pedal steel sort of way...I'm playing it in the more crunchy/bluesy type way.

I'll see if I can squeeze it into the set Friday...

I use mine in a similar way, through my Bassman and my Dime. Blues and Southern Rock. I love it.
