This instrument has a solid mahogany wood top, back and sides with a fingerboard and peghead veneer of rosewood. It is hollow out to the third fret. The increased sound chamber and all mahogany body provide the resonance needed for lap steel playing. The mahogany is grainfilled and finished in a low sheen laquer. The guitar is bound with rosewood top and back and is fitted with Gotoh tuners, in this case black. The frets are marked with thin strips of maple. The scale length is 640 millimetres, or 251/8 inches. It is 55 mm (21/8 in.) deep at the second fret, and 95 mm (33/4in.) at the end block. The nut and saddle are made of bone. Pick ups can be installed under the saddle.
