Van Halen tribute lap steel

I made a Van Halen tribute lap steel. What do think?

Love it! (Kinda perfect, because I always suspected Ed sweetened his thirds, not unlike a steel player.)

Terrific job!

Greg Vincent- thanks! I got to see Van Halen live, It must have been about 6 or 7 years ago. I was blown away by how good he was and the sound he got!

I had the good fortune to see their final show ever, which was at the Hollywood Bowl. Ed was in fine form that night, looked happy & healthy, and did not at all seem like a man who would be gone within 5 years.

A sad loss of an American original. Your steel is a fitting tribute, John!
