A new lightweight double 6

Post by Iestyn Lewis »

I was aiming to keep the weight and the costs way down with this one. Pine body and non-extendable legs. 2 guitarfetish.com telecaster bridge pickups. Oil/poly finish. Laser printed fretboards on wood veneer. I have open E on the front and C6 on the back. It will probably make its way to the for sale section at some point, but I'm finding it nice to have both tunings right there, and actually working on songs for a change. I am also trying to keep it from moving around, but it only weighs 19 pounds in the bag, so movement might be unavoidable. I found it interesting to see the Carvin D6 come up for sale while I was building this one. I had no idea Carvin ever made steels.
