Description

This Fender Deluxe 8-String is a great 50s lap steel with a lot of character and vibey tone. Both pots have been replaced, the pickup has been rewound, and the control cavity has a replacement cover piece, however the resulting lap steel is a wonderful and easily playable instrument.

Includes early tweed hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
