This may not seem very exciting at first...Just a heavily worn #vintage #lapsteel #guitar, right? Kind of generic looking in fact (unless you know what it is!). But if you read the tag and it says "1947 #Fender #Deluxe Lap #Steel", and then you realize that this is one off the earliest Fender #guitars ever made. K&F (the predesesor of Fender) was founded in 1946 and this guitar is from '47. You won't find many #Fenders are older than this one. It was made 3 years before the #Broadcaster (later renamed the #Telecaster) was invented, and 7 years before the Stratocaster! An eternity! I don't know hardly anything about #lapsteels, so I can't tell you if this guitar was all original etc, or if the price (around $1200 CAD if I remember correctly) was reasonable in this condition...it looked pretty "used"! But I should look so good at the age of 70. If I even make it to that age. Which is a long shot at best. 😆 Spotted at the #Elmira #GuitarShow last weekend in Elmira, Ontario, Canada. #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #vintagefenders #lapsteelguitar #vintagelapsteel #steelguitar #guitarphotography
