Hi All -
I've been looking covetously at the Mya-moe lap steel ukes but I'm not too excited about the cost or the wait so I'm thinking of ways to make my own conversion.
I was wondering if it's possible to string a conventional (used) 6-string lap steel with GCEA strings and just leave two of the strings unstrung? Or maybe get a steel-string tenor uke (Monkey Wrench, Jupiter Creek, Risa?) and add something like this at the nut to raise the strings: http://elderly.com/accessories/items/EN02.htm
You folks often have creative ideas. Any ideas on this one? Thanks!
