New Chicago 51 model 6 string lap steel in walnut, with body shape based on a Valco model from the 1940s. Strung 13-56 for open E (though I like to drop the top string to C# for E6 - that way you can play your country/Hawaiian sounding licks and still have a beefy bottom end for power chords...). I think this is the best sounding steel I've built to date:
