Picked up another 747 in Blue Mist Silver yesterday. Minty fresh at a local GC... My first Carvin with a rosewood board. :D Very happy.

Here's a 1947 Gibson lap steel that I converted to 7 string a few years ago. It was a basket case when I got it, so now collector's items were harmed during this experiment.
When I started playing steel, I tried a few different tunings and guitars. I settled on G6, but didn't like the 8 string tuning with the 6 on the bottom. The 7 string arrangement with the root on the bottom just works best for me. I filled and redrilled the treble side of the peghead and used some mandolin tuners. I took the one piece bridge to a machine shop and had them cut new slots between the existing ones. The pickup was custom made by Jerry Wallace of Truetone Pickups, and sounds great. I wanted a lollar fixed-pole P-90, but it was $100 more than the Truetone, and I just couldn't afford it.
Next is a dobro conversion.
