Description

Condition: Various scratches, nicks, dings, dents and finish chips throughout the instrument. There is some hazing and oxidizing throughout the top finish. The original nut broke and was replaced with a metal nut and two loose screws to fill in the post holes (see photos). Though unoriginal, the new nut works perfectly fine. Tuners and tuner screws are unoriginal and original screw holes are barely visible beneath the current tuning machines (see photos). The bottom edge of the finish has worn away but this is merely cosmetic. The pickup shows a relatively low ohm reading but has excellent output and sounds full. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.

Body: Guitar-shaped body stamped from sheet metal in a smooth grey burst finish. Strings load into the top with white plastic bridge. Dual white plastic control knobs.

Neck: Square neck stamped from sheet metal in smooth grey burst finish. Raised frets, white dot inlays and a 2 1/16” nut. Open-gear nickel tuners, 22 ¾” scale length.

Pickups/electronics: Single-coil horseshoe pickup with master volume and tone controls.

Pickup: 1.63k Ohms.

Weight: 7lbs, 3.5oz.

Playability/Sound: This lap steel can provide tons of sparkle and twang with the ability to warm up with the tone control. This instrument offers a cool vintage look, tone and feel.

Case: Includes unoriginal lite case.
