Epiphone Century Lap Steel Guitar

Epiphone Century Lap Steel Guitar Since its beginnings in 1873, Epiphone has developed a tradition and built a solid reputation for making high-quality instruments and amplifiers. The original Art Deco styled 1939 Century Lap Steel Guitar was designed by Herb Sunshine, Epiphone #39;s legendary salesman and electronics developer. Now Epiphone the Electar, a Hawaiian lap steel inspired by the #34;1939 #34;, features the same body profile as the vintage original with a one-piece Mahogany body and neck with an Ebony finish. The back of the body has an inset non-slip rubber pad. The neck sports a Plexiglass fingerboard with a traditional #34;1939 #34; Art Deco Replica inlay design and 28 frets that are properly set for great intonation at any position. The headstock features the vintage metal Epiphone badge used on Epiphone #39;s earliest electric archtop guitars. The 2.5 #34; aluminium nut is raised slide and the Wilkinson #34;Deluxe #34; machine heads have ivory coloured buttons. The Electar is loaded with a powerful Epiphone 500B #34;Blade #34; Humbucker with master volume and tone controls. The bridge and tailpiece are aluminium with a vintage-style nickel-plated steel cover. The Electar comes with a deluxe gig bag.
