I just finished up a first Prototype 6 string AlumiGliss Lap Steel, based on the excellent design & input of Artist/Endorser Myk Freedman (mykfreedman.com).
This version has a 24" scale length, Armstrong M213K humbucker, Lefty/Righty control layout, narrow 3" neck with full width fretboard, parallel string spacing at bridge/nut, set to 3/8" on center.
This is a heavy gauge plate model with a more traditional guitar shape body, sandwiched over a modified Dan Walsh fry pan shaped tube core.
I left the PRO mods off this one, and although you give up a bit of sustain up the neck, the acoustic tone really comes through. Lots of "Honk".
Currently I have it strung with 16-56 strings, and tuned in open E. It has the same V-notched bridge and nut arrangement, so other gauges/tunings or left handed conversion is easy.
I also used the lower, more slippery brass nut I install on my Mini-REZ's. As with all my prototypes, I never keep them, so will put this one is up for sale!
Specifications:
===================
24" scale
Kent Armstrong M213K humbucker
parallel string spacing @ 3/8" on center

This steel plays and sounds excellent!
