This lap steel was made from an extra 2x4 I had in my shed, with just a few saw cuts to the wood. I even used a pre-wired acoustic sound hole pickup, so there was no wiring needed. Anybody can build this lap steel guitar! The lap steel plays great, too. It's set up with a standard 23-inch scale, just like the store bought-lap steels!

I'm in the process of building a Champion-style lap steel (the thread is around here somewhere.) i couldn't, for the life of me, find any PDF's or templates for any Fender lap steels online. I ended up finding a large, high-quality front-on photo of a Fender Champion and enlarged it in GIMP until it was the correct size. I kept track of known measurements that i WAS able to find (or already knew), like tuner post diameter, scale length, body width and length, etc. Once they all seemed to match up, i was able to get the rest of the measurements off of it. I used a pretty large hi-res photo, and i think i ended up blowing it up to about 127%. The quality didn't need to be super-clear, since i was just using it for measurements. The only measurement that's different on mine is that i believe the original necks on the Champions were 3' wide, whereas i made mine 2.75' wide.

I just thought it looked better. I drew out a template, but ended up just making a bunch of layout lines on my wood and redrawing it by hand directly onto the wood to tweak a few little things here and there. It won't be an exact copy, but i wasn't going for total accuracy either. Search the Tele Home Depot forum for a thread titled 'Fender Champion-inspired Lap Steel' for build photos and details. I've taken a break from it for a week or two to catch up on some other things in life, but i'll be picking up the build again in the next few days.
