Description

What’s special about this lap steel: This is just a great sounding vintage National lap steel with a fantastic sound. This particular piece features a great looking grey peraloid finish, phenomenal sounding original single-coil pickup and a super cool art deco design. We’re big fans of these lap steels because there very comfortable to play, affordable and the pickups always have a distinct vintage sound!

Condition: Very good shape overall. There are various light scratches and dings throughout the instrument. The pearloid finish is in very good overall shape for its age however! There is some blemishing and rust/corrosion on some of the metal parts but they all function perfectly. The plexi fingerboard is in great shape with only some light scratches. The plastic tuning buttons were replaced because the original buttons crumbled. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.

Body: Solid body with rounded bottom and graduated shoulders in a greay pearloid finish. Chrome tailpiece/bridge with a string-through-pickup design and a black plastic pickup cover. Dual cream control knobs.

Neck: Square pearloid neck with a cream fingerboard with black musical note frets and a plexi overlay. 1 15/16” nut. Three-on-a-strip nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons, 23” scale length.

Pickups/Electronics: Original single-coil pickup with master volume and tone controls. Note: This lap steel requires an amphenol cable to be plugged in which is not included with the instrument.

Pickup: 6.11K Ohms.

Weight: 5lbs, 3.5oz.

Case: Includes the original hardshell case.
