Free 22-1/2' / 24' lap steel plan - The Steel Guitar Forum Free 22-1/2' / 24' lap steel plan Author Topic: Free 22-1/2' / 24' lap steel plan Randy Cordle Member From: Illinois, USA posted 25 August 2006 07:37 PM Hi, Thought I would pass along a free lap steel plan that I have posted on my website. The instrument plan is roughly patterned after an Oahu Tonemaster with the body profile scaled to match the shorter scale length. The drawing has all details for both 22-1/2' and 24' scales and alternate bridge plate and pick guard ideas. Full printouts of both fret board layouts are also provided. The plans are in PDF format and available as one sheet or 4 sections that can be printed and tiled together for a 12-3/4' by 17' scale print. Hope some of you interested in building will take the plunge with a little encouragement!

Nice site--kind of hard to read all the good info with that busy blue background though. Any audio samples of your guitar? Randy Cordle Member From: Illinois, USA posted 26 August 2006 06:28 AM Thanks for the input, Bill. You can now switch backgrounds at the top of the home page. Thanks for the suggestion, the blue background will eventually be the home page only, with all the other linked pages done with the plain paper background.
I really dislike sites with (1) Too busy backgrounds or (2) black backgrounds. I'll also eventually get up some MP3s. Roman Sonnleitner Member From: Vienna, Austria posted 26 August 2006 11:07 AM Cool site & great-looking lap-steel! Frank Lombard Member From: Western Massachusetts, USA posted 04 September 2006 07:24 AM Great plans!
