CONDITION:

This lap steel is very clean, 100% original and in good condition. There is wear on the edges of the body top and a few spots of wear on the top, the back and on the bass side. There is also wear on the top edges of the headstock.

TUNERS:

The tuners, opened-back, 2×3 inline machine-heads with black, plastic buttons are in good working condition. They are smooth and hold the tuning and intonation well.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

NECK:

It has a neck through, one piece design with a, cherry wood fretboard, a metal nut, a 23.25″ scale, white, plastic, circular position markings and twenty-seven frets. Although they are actual frets, it is a slide guitar and the pitch is made by the steel’s (or slide’s) contact with the string and not the fret’s contact with the string rendering frets unnecessary. The headstock, featuring a silkscreened, “Silvertone” logo, has some minor wear on the top edges. The string are high above the fretboard for easy sliding. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

PICKUPS:
he one, single coil, pickup, which is built into the plate on which the controls are mounted, sounds very clean, smooth and full. On either side of it, are two white, plastic knobs, one for tone and one for volume. The volume pot gets really noisy when it is not completely off or fully on.
