1956 Gibson EH-630 Electraharp Pedal Steel sunburst

Very Good condition, 7,5/10, no case, including one cover (by the pickup) but missing the top cover by the tuning pegs, 8 strings, 4 pedals, all original parts including electronics and legs, more info: The demand for pedal steel guitars was great news for CMI/Gibson, given the paucity of manufacturers then offering this type of instrument. Paul Bigsby was unquestionably the maker of choice for all the top players, but his waiting list was a couple of years long. In this context, Gibson set out to enhance the post-war Electraharp by modifying its pedal linkages and also by introducing a six-pedal version of the model. In 1955 the original four-pedal Electraharp became the EH-630 while the newer six-pedal version was designated EH-620 – in which the initials EH stood for “Electra Harp” rather than “Electric Hawaiian”
