NEV’S GAS OF THE MONTH:

Short Christmas deadlines mean I’ve not been out much this month. But this little lap steel just five minutes’ walk from the office really captivated me. It would be a great new-year, new-technique project for someone. Plus it’s cheap as chips! What? Supro 1466 BW Jet Airliner Lap Steel Where seen? Vintage ‘N’ Rare Guitars, Bath Price? £369 Description? This is an updated version of an early-60s Supro electric lap steel and features a vintage-correct body shape and cool ‘tuxedo’ finish. Pickup is a silver foil take on the original Supro ‘Clear-tone’, plus there’s a string-through-body hardtail bridge that’s intonation adjustable. Perfect for your Pink Floyd One Of These Days rendition, methinks.
