I'm Back!!!

[Sonny Jenkins]

LOL,,, well as many of you know ,,afterbeing active on the forum , almost since the beginning,,,I kinda dropped out for a while.

Also I had stopped building my very popular little lap steels (do a forum search). Now I have a new design that I hope to be able build a few,,,,even a keyed version,, LOL. Many remember me as being "keyless to the core",,,,LOL.

Can't see how to add pic in this format,,, I'll try post pics later, or if anyone is interested contact me and I'll send pics

[Lee Rider]

Glad you are back Sonny, missed your posts!

Wow what a beautiful looking lap steel. Super gorgeous. I don’t understand how the keyless thing works though.

[Jerry Overstreet]

Yessir! Very, very nice professionally crafted lap steel model.

If you look closely at the tuner head, you will see black screws throught the individual tuner pullers that adjust them back and forth in a straight pull for tuning to pitch.

Of course I defer to Sonny, but it appears they operate in the same way as Williams keyless tuners.

[Doug Earnest]

My goodness! That guitar could not look any nicer. Very very well done sir, and nice to see you here again.

[Mike Neer]

Welocme back, Sonny. The steels look amazing!

[Ross Shafer]

Very cool Sonny!

[Ken Pippus]

Pretty as a picture. Lovely work.

[Stephen Cowell]

Nice looking guitar Sonny... proud to own one of your creations. Hope to see you in Ft. Worth in March!

[Joe Cook]

Wow! Beautiful guitar, Sonny!

[Marshall Woodall]

Geez a my god. It's a beauty!

[Mike Preuss]

What an elegant design. Kudos, Sonny. It's stunning

[Tim Toberer]

I can't decide if it's a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini. The scary thing is it could be both! Gorgeous guitar....

[Bill Fisher]

Sonny, perhaps you made the ANAPEG of lap steels. Name it JENKO. It is beautiful.

[Sonny Jenkins]

Oh man,,,,,,I'm humbled to say the least!!!!!! I have 4 or 5 of the tops machined and plan on making a couple of keyed models as well as the keyless. Also plan on having these on display at TSGA jamboree in Ft Worth in March of next year,,,if a benevelent friend will let me share a booth,,,,LOL!!! But in the non pedal room for sure. These things sound amazing,,,very responsive to amp settings.

Thanks again for all the kind words!!!!!

[Les Ford]

So Pretty!

[Glenn Wilde]

Dang! It's beautiful.
