Lap steel cases?
Hey all - who's got a line on cases, new or old, for Ric-shaped lap steels? My NS is bumping around in a tolex-covered gun case.

Sounds like your case is cooler.

Cool, so the shotgun case seems to be the accepted quick and cheap substitute!
Re: Lap steel cases?
And you can carry your shotgun in it, too. BSF, I haven't tried the shotgun case thing yet, but it looks like it could be a great solution. What I have done at least once, since lap steels are so small, is to buy a used hard shell guitar case, remove the bracing and yoke and line it with some foam that can be cut to the exact shape of the lap steel.kennyhowes wrote:Cool, so the shotgun case seems to be the accepted quick and cheap substitute!
I'll try to post some photos soon.

A sawed off lap steel perhaps?

I bought a Gold Tone lap steel case from Elderly last year. It fits almost perfect.

I have a J-6 I called and emailed G&G cases the only way they could make a case like the old Rick case.
They would have written consent from Rickenbacker Int. and would be $300. to $400. bucks
So i bought a SKB MIDI small keyboard case it's a work in progress but it will fit
Being thats where you work you should have no problem My contact at G&G was (Gus )
Good Luck

Re: Lap steel cases?
I never have found a case for my NS lap steel.
Re: Lap steel cases?
This may not help, but when I had my Model 100 that did not come with a case, I MacGyvered one out of another instrument case.
I don't remember what that case was for, maybe a viola. I looked for one that had suitable inside dimensions and that could be modified without too much difficulty, and that one fit the bill (plus, IIRC, I bought it when it was on sale at a local music store). I had to cut a piece out of the center so tha guiar would lie flat, but it wasn't too bad of a mod.

Re: Lap steel cases?
I don’t have my lap steel with me at the moment, so can anyone tell me if this will work? —>
