At seventy-seven years old this lap steel is a road-ready piece of Gibson history! More importantly though, this thing sings!
This vintage guitar is all original with exception of having the pickup re-built and the tuner buttons replaced. Folks, you're lookin' at a period correct restoration that sounds as good as it looks. Additionally the onboard controls are simple: single Volume, single Tone. 'Nuff said. Get in, get after it, get out!
Advertised in 1946 as "Modern as tomorrow" the BR-6 Electric Hawaiian Guitar in black features bright cream colored frets and pick guard with numbered position markers across twenty-nine frets offering four and one-half octaves of pristine goodness.
The badass techs here at EMS have gone through to ensure that everything on this steel is clean, tight, and sounding right! Yeah, he's seen a honky tonk or two. He's been on the road. He's lived that life. But he's still here and still down to get weird.
This great lap steel includes the original case and a slide bar so you can start twangin' and sangin' right outta the box! If you have any questions about this steel or any of our gear, give us a shout here at the shop!
