In addition to the Long Scale 8 string frypans I started making last year, I am offering two new models due to requests. If any one is not familiar with these steels, these are made from cast aluminum . The pickups are made with true horseshoe magnets, that are stronger than the originals. I wind these to the old specs for rich tone.
The 6 string long scale features a scale length of about 24 11/16 . String spacing at the bridge is 2.1 inches . String spacing at the nut is 1.875.
The short scale 8 string features a scale length of 22 9/16 . string spacing at the bridge is 2.75, and string spacing at the nut is 2.375.
All castings are polished to a high shine. Though by special request I have made a few with a satin fretboard to keep the fretboard glare down.
**These are a natural cast instrument . There will be some porosity or sand inclinations here and there on the bodies of the steels. **

Thanks Jim.
Here are some photos and a basic description of this 7 string prototype.
The string spacing is similar to that of a Stringmaster. 3/8 at the bridge and 5/16 at the nut. Totaling 2.25 bridge, 1.875 nut. Long scale.
I went with a full satin finish on this guitar , which gives an aged vintage look to it.
