This is a customised version of my RTRAIL  model lap steel, in a 24.75"" scale length, from my company, Fouke Industrial Guitars. You can check out my website at: industrialguitar.com.   It is built around a longer 24.75" scale length, with an open E tuning currently, and features all aluminum construction. It uses a heavy wall aluminum tube style frame, and when combined with the aluminum plate construction, provides a great deal of sustain while still only weighing in at approximately 9 lbs normally. ** This paticular version weighs in around 10 lbs, and has the duplicate modifications to the internal structure that I supply to my endorsing artists: Dan Walsh (Zeman & Walsh), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Jamie Humphries,  Damian Darlington (The British Pink Floyd Show) (Brit Floyd Show).  These versions  are set up for  large stage use and very high volumes, and the mods  basically  increase sustain further while adding to the density of the tone.  ** This instrument is primarily geared towards amplified play and performance & a high degree of portability. It does have some acoustic volume and does retain enough acoustic response for easy practicing.  The color of the instrument is plain brushed aluminum (SILVER). Currently set up for right handed play.  Here are the specs on this one: 6 string electric lap steel, 12-52 Nickel Wound string set, currently tuned to open E V-notched bridge and nut for any string set you want & any tuning that will work on the scale lengthAluminum top and back plates, brushed silver finish Heavy wall aluminum tube frame sides Rear mounted control access plate Chrome Grover Rotomatic 102c Full Size tuners24.75" scale length 1 Kent Armstrong M213K Humbucker 1 mini low profile switch for single/dual coil pickup selectionChicken Head Retro Black Knobs 1 Volume and  1 Tone controlHeadstock hole for wall display/storage Removable & reusable rubber feet on back plate of instrument      *PRICE INCLUDES QUALITY PADDED SOFT CASE*I SHIP WORLDWIDE!
