Custom Cases For Lap Steels?

Post by Al Terhune »

Any leads out there for hardshell cases -- that can be custom-made to fit?

THANKS.

Get in touch with John Tipka at:

steelgtr@iwaynet.com

He custom makes cases for lap steels, has pics to send, and they look great.

Al: One of the nicest adaptations for lap steel I've seen was a viola case (an SBK, I think) fitted with a velvet-lined foam interior. It was home to a Rickenbacher bakelite and fit it perfectly. Certainly a job any competent repair person could do with ease.
