I'm demonstrating that you only need the slightest finger pressure at the cutting edge to achieve a flat back when lapping.

1930S STELLA LAP STEEL GUITAR
This army-green-metallic Stella lap steel arrived at the shop in just-about perfect condition. The wiring harness was good and even grounded, it plugged-in fine, and it sounded alright as-is. All I had to do was spray out the pot (to get it turning smoothly), flip the pickup and control plate around (so the jack was on the opposite side), and give it a light setup to get the strings closer to the poles. After that... ahhh, there's the sound!
It's got a pure, clean, bitey, but sweet voice. It's very much of its age -- and has a singing, clear quality to it that you only get from a good horseshoe-magnet pickup like this. Output is low -- but only around Danelectro levels -- and if you hit it with a medium dose of gain, it breaks-up just-so. At the end of the post you'll find some shots of the pickup itself.
This would've been made in the Schmidt factory in New Jersey and was probably built in the early-mid '30s as the company was sold-off to Harmony in '39 (at which point you see the Stella and Sovereign names on Harmony boxes). The finish is really hip -- the metallic green is offset by cream and red accents and red dots in the board.
Setup notes: currently it's strung with 46w-10 gauges and tune to open E. Heavier strings would give it a fatter tone, for sure. The bridge is adjustable to allow the player to get a little more height over the pickup poles if desired.

It comes with: its original hard case -- I repaired one hinge and it's working just fine, but it does have some wear and tear.
