We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. *Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. If you decide to purchase this guitar, please let us know what gauge strings you prefer.

It has safety string patent heads and recessed jack ferrule.” It has a replaceable fretboard and detachable cord, and the tone and volume controls have been placed in the optimum position for easy playing. The student guitar has a solid hardwood body and is beautifully finished in cream colored mother-of-pearl plastic.

Somewhere in its history the pickup was removed and the body routed for a slightly larger pickup. This lap steel is in good condition, fully functional, cosmetically showing some discoloration on the back and ample amount of “patina” for a lap steel this age.
