Chicago 51 model 6 string lap steel in black, with body shape based on a Valco model from the 1940s. Strung 13-56 for open E (though I like to drop the top string to C# for E6 - that way you can play your country/Hawaiian sounding licks and still have a beefy bottom end for power chords...).
The black finish is very thin and has some paler streaks and minor imperfections (hence the low price), but otherwise the guitar is in excellent condition. Sound clips to follow...
Scale length - 635mm
Body - Poplar, with central maple strip
Fretboard - Walnut, with maple veneer fret markers & mother-of-pearl dots, bone nut
Bridge - Aluminium, through-body stringing
Tuners - Golden Age 3-on-a-plate
Pickup - Golden Age lipstick
Controls - Volume & Tone
Hardware - Chrome/nickel
Finish - Shellac & Tru-oil
Weight - 2.23kg
Padded gig bag included
