Lap Steel built by Magician sounds HAUNTED! • 'Voices from the Attic' #Video

In addition to being a magician, a master of sleight of hand, and an avid collector of haunted artifacts, Charles Atchison is a killer guitar builder. We met on the road about ten years ago, and he has built me some crazy instruments over the years. The body of this lap steel was a 100+ year-old barometer. The neck came from an old Johnson-brand acoustic guitar. The pickup floats about an inch above the metal soundboard on a magnetic housing, and can freely move linearly between the neck and bridge, which allows for tonal changes (much like a tone knob). It's also strung with thick baritone guitar strings, which adds even more mojo to the low, mournful, creepy voice. I'm calling this first song played on this one "Voices from the Attic"
