2×4 Lap Steel Guitar Kit – the DIY Electric Slide Guitar: You Supply the 2×4!

Description

The 2×4 Lap Steel parts kit: just supply your own scrap 2×4 plank!
It’s a darn shame that eBay is removing the ability to add YouTube videos to listings, because we have an awesome demo video of this kit!
Finally learn how to play lap steel guitar without investing in a brand new instrument.  Just a spare 2×4 and this parts kit will get you playing in no time.  But this is more than just a teaching instrument.  The parts contained and the instructions will have you making a lap steel guitar good enough for stage and studio.
Anyone with a basic knowledge of woodworking can create the 2×4 lap steel.  A circular saw, drill and soldering iron are the basic tools needed.
COUNTRY HONKY-TONK, BLUES OR HAWAIIAN?
The 2×4 Lap Steel Kit also includes two different sets of strings, enabling you to try traditional Open D (blues) tuning or a more advanced C6th (Country/Hawaiian) tuning.
Modify, decorate and design:
We left the design basic so that you’re encouraged to ‘trick it out’ with designs and other mods.  Paint yours up or leave it raw.  Use plastic zip ties as fret markers if you want. (Zip ties are not included in the kit.  They are readily available in most hardware stores.)
Kit includes:
Full instructions printed on a 12×18 poster – suitable for framing
Two floating bridges
Humbucking Pickup
Guitar jack and jackplate
Six tuners
Twelve string ferrules
Two packs of strings: one for blues and one for Country/Hawaiian C6 tuning
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ…
I ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail Internation. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer – this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as “lost” until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country’s laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don’t ask us to declare a false value. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE bidding.
Recycled Materials…
We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep my prices lower since we don’t have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too!
Best Value vs. Cheapest Price…
Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the products we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by my claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. We are always available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys products from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, you can be sure that your items will be well packaged, will ship on time, and will get to you as fast as USPS first class mail can deliver it.
