Vintage 1950s English Electronics by Valco Tonemaster Lap Steel

Here's a fantastic vintage lap steel in amazing condition! This English Electronics Tonemaster Lap Steel came in as part of a package with a Tonemaster amplifier and the condition of the pairing is probably the nicest we've ever seen.

This lap steel has very minimal light finish markings on it here and there, but really not much more than what you might find on a guitar just a couple years old. We did have to replace the buttons on the tuners, but everything else in original. Even the felt on the back hasn't all worn off! The pots on the Tonemaster Lap Steel are dated the 17th week of 1955.

The original guitar case is included as well as a period correct slide and 1/4" cable.

Tonemaster Lap Steel

• Valco Craftsmanship: Built alongside iconic sister brands like Supro, National, and Airline.
• String-Through Pickup: Features a highly coveted, hot AlNiCo pickup with separate bass and treble coils.

The English Electronics Tonemaster lap steel and amplifier are highly collectible pieces of mid-century Americana manufactured by Valco in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s. They are highly prized today for their unique aesthetics and warm, overdriven vintage tones. We purchased this package from the widow of the original owner who bought it at Norman English Studio in Lansing Michigan (English Electronics was a stencil brand of Valco) and have decided to sell the items separately.
