1958 Gibson Ultratone Lapsteel
Used / Vintage Lap Steel Guitar
Rare Blue Finish!
Used! Just in on consignment from one of our regular clients. This vintage Gibson Lap Steel is the Ultratone model from 1958. The gold bell bonnet knobs are the correct / same parts are used on various vintage Gibson electric guitars – like 1958 and 1959 Sunburst Les Paul guitars – and are worth quite on their own if sold separately. The tuners as well, but they are very clean and I would say at the least the buttons could be replacements.
Like all our used/vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced for move. No serious issues, damage or repairs. Typical wear and tear for an instrument of this vintage – Some dings, dents and lacquer checking, I believe one knob is cracked. The pots were a little crackly but that cleared up after working them on and off for a while and spritzing with some electronics cleaner. Rip Roaring Tone!!! This thing is a beast!
