Made in the 1930s, this Gibson EH-150 Lap Steel altered the course of music as one of the earliest electric instruments released by Gibson. It is in great condition for its almost 100 years of life, and we believe it may be all-original with possibly only the nut having been replaced. This lap steel features the highly celebrated "Charlie Christian" pickup, and even comes with its original tweed hard shell case.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good Vintage condition with modest wear for an instrument of this age, including some scratches and fading consistent with a beloved 90-100 year old instrument, and some other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
