    Thanks for your information! But i don’t know if that’s gonna be enough information for me to try it on my own. Do you have a video or document in which you explain step by step how to make it from scratch? Cind regards, Anouk ( from Belgium)

    Thanks for your comment! It’s not hard to make. The only important measurement is the scale length (distance from the nut to the saddle). For a typical lap guitar the scale is usually 22.5 inches or 57.15 centimeters. Good luck and have fun!
