We have access to an amazing collection of vintage lap steels, which has brought some beauties to our shop including this rare 1938 Epiphone Electar.

The steel is very Gibson-esque, looking somewhat like their EH series.

The flamed top, firestripe pickguard and Brazilian fretboard really make this one stand out.  It sounds really good as well!

The steel is in excellent condition with no changes, repairs or issues.  It is a really nice piece to add to your collection.
