Stanko: Really nice. I would so mess up the neck and fretwork, I don't even have an idea what tools I'd need. I really like that finish. Very nice inlays too. Is that master volume and tone, or two volumes? Or stacked stuff?
Explorers sure look cool, but they feel weird to play to me.
Pakit: How would you tap this? You can "tap" it with the slide, but I wouldn't use the word tapping for it. By my definition, tapping needs frets or a fretboard to hit the string down on. Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huWju0Ntn5g
I loosely used this guide: http://buildyourguitar.com/resources/lapsteel/
I was afraid to do the peghead like in the guide, because it's only a pine plank, I doubt it would have stood the pull. And after I came up with my tuner-mounts, it looked rough, so I went with that theme and didn't bother to carve out a control cavity. Carving out the pickup cavity with nothing but a drill was hard enough.
