10 String Keyless Lap Steel

This is not the prettiest steel you've ever seen but it has some good points. Well I reckon it sounds good if nothing else. It has a 24" scale as you can probably tell by the Sho-Bud "Dust Catcher" and the pickup is a Wallace True Tone 17.5KOhm. It is currently tuned to Billy Robinson's C6 tuning. I don't think I need to say much more about this as I think the attached photos should be enough. I'm no C6 player but if I can get this sound clip to work at least you'll have an idea what it sounds like.
Open to sensible offers if anyone is interested. More pics and audio file to follow.

It appears I cannot add an Mp3 file so I'll have to try and figure something else.

Sweeet. Wish I had a few £100 spare... You can really hear the extra string length.
