Harbour Lights Lap Steel Guitar 8 string twin pickup.

[Basil Henriques]

Harbour Lights Lap Steel Guitar
Harry Sheppard built it in 2009 I had the first one in Europe and this was purchased direct from Harry on my recommendation. The student of mine has now ceased playing and the guitar has “Come Home” only very lightly used and stored carefully since 2010.


Mahogany/Hard Maple blend body for stability and balanced tone.
Sapele (some people call it ribbon mahogany) top/back and headplate.
Indian Rosewood fretboard with real frets and pearl position markers.
Solid Ebony bridge
Strings anchor through the body
Brass nut, saddle and concentric volume/blend knobs
24 1/2" Scale length with standard Stringmaster string spacing on the 8 string
High quality Gotoh tuners

Dual concentric controls one does the volume and the other is pickup ballance: (the same as the Fender Stringmaster.) One way is just the bridge pickup and the pot blends in the neck pickup with a centre indent position
£650
I can deliver for £12.50 per 100 miles.

It would be ideal for an intermediate player as it would take you to the highest level of tonality and sustain. The pickups are positioned so as to maximise the transient response and harmonic content, the string ballance on the pickups is stunning and the tonal variation is the ultimate using the Fender stringmaster wiring for ballance, you can go from extreme highs to a deep mellow tone and everything in-between.
BRASS nut and bridge and the acoustic properties of the construction are excellent. There are only half a dozen of these in the world, and it side by side compares equally with the pre war Gibson and Rickenbacher guitars. I'm only parting with it as I'm now 82 and don't see me doing many more conventions and even then all I'll play is my Fender 1000.Here is a couple of snips of me playing it and also a link to the SGF page talking about the guitar.
