Made in USA

Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA, including original brown softshell case with green lines on the lid, refinished black by a previous owner, we initially thought the logo on this year/model should be a script logo so it has been replaced but we received new info that in November of 1947 Gibson started putting the modern block logo on their laps steels so the logo could be correct or at least the correct style, 6-strings, 2 clear knobs, replaced output jack plate, fine line checking all over the finish, modern bone nut, more info: Model: BR-6 LapSteel Available: July 1946 to 1960 July 1946 BR-6 LapSteel introduction specs: guitar shaped mahogany body, knobs on opposite sides, plastic control plate back-painted white, white bridge/pickup cover, square neck, white open-block fingerboard markers with numbers, black finish. 1948 BR-6 LapSteel introduction specs: gold plastic control plate and pickup cover, string ends visible, single bound top and back, metal fingerboard, gold painted markers, round neck, sunburst finish. mid-1950's BR-6 LapSteel specs: knobs on same side. 1956 BR-6B LapSteel specs: black model, 77 sold 1956 to 1959.
