[Help!I'maRock!]

Year: 1954 (Circa)
Manufacturer: Fender®
Model: Champ® Lapsteel
Case: Original Hard
Color: Desert Sand
Condition: Near Mint
Description: ULB31954 These little Fender® Champ® Lap Steels are just the coolest. Ergonomically shaped, one bridge position single-coil pickup with volume and tone controls, black knobs and tuner buttons. This baby is about as clean as it gets. Even the green felt on the back is still intact and in excellent condition like the day it rolled off the line. Included also is the original tweed covered hard shell case that's almost as pristine as the lap steel, save for a replaced handle.

$850

That guitar makes a purple, quilty, gold hardwared, Floyded guitar look very nice

 

[Coralkong]

meh.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Kinda cool! I've toyed with giving lap steel a whirl, for something different to play. But I might be inclined to spend a bit less, and get one of the old Harmony, National/Valco, Gibson, or Oahu lap steels for a different sound.

 

[Sad Navigator]

Looks sharp. Neat mid-century fetish object. If I owned it, it would prolly it in the case more often than not.

I also have been wanting a lap steel for the collection. I like it!

 

[Aahzz]
