Magnificent Gibson Lap Steel, likely dating from the late 1940s or early 1950s. This is an authentic vintage instrument, steeped in history and offering a sound full of character.
The lap steel is fully functional and ready to play. Aesthetically, it has an honest patina consistent with its age, with a few paint chips and slight nicks in the finish in some places, which is not unusual for an instrument of this era.
The tuning pegs have been replaced with StewMac models, and the pickup has been rewound by Montreal Guitar, ensuring excellent performance while respecting the original sound character. The electronics and hardware are in good working order.
The lap steel comes with its original Gibson case, a valuable asset for both collectors and musicians.
A rare and inspiring instrument, ideal for lovers of blues, country, or Hawaiian music, as much for playing as for collecting.
