Lap steel string spacing
I don't see a place to put this question, so here it is. I've made a lot of 6 string lap steels and now want to try some 8's. Looking for nut and saddle string spacing info. For either parallel or tapered style. Thanks, Bob

Um . . . 1.333 x 6-string spacing?

Bob, I've done a few roller nuts and bridges for 6 and 8 string lap steels. I'll look around for my notes on those but I'm sure they were pretty close to what everyone else was making.

Re: Lap steel string spacing
Thanks for the replies. That 1.3 is about what I use on my 6's, but wondered if the 8's are a bit tighter or not.
