A couple pics of "Lorelei" as Nick (Alan) Bidmade named her.
All birdseye maple, with a front apron literally peppered with birdseyes. One in a million piece of lumber.
The 4th pedal is the Sigler and makes it into a c6th lap steel from strings 4 to 9
A real dawg to set up for a first-timer but worked out ok. Keep your fingers crossed for a Fedex trip to England!

I couldn't be happier (except for when it arrives, all in one piece)!
Bent has done a sterling job for me, full consultation all the way through (ain't email a wonderful thing!)
I'll let you all know it has arrived safely. It's a real beauty, for sure.

Wow!
Beautiful work, I always like inlay, too. And the 1 inch fingers. That would mean less movement required to do the same job. I (and I am sure others) would love to hear that psg.
