c1950s Gibson Century 6 Lap Steel (USA, Bittersweet, HSC)


SOLD!

Description

Tidy Gibson Century Lapsteel.

Such incredible design, complete with bridge and tuning peg covers. 

From what I can gather Gibson hired a design firm (Barnes & Reinicke) towards the end of the 2nd world war, to spice things up a bit, and this Lapsteel was one of their visions. The salmon pink colour is called 'Bittersweet' and the other colour, 'Beach White'. All I can say is, the stock P90 pickup in this, is indeed the first P90 I have ever seen in a 'Bittersweet' colour.

This steel is in beautiful condition, and dare I say, I don't think this one will last too long.
