Description

The Epiphone Electar Inspired by "1939" Century Lap Steel Outfit is a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern functionality, capturing the spirit of one of Epiphone's most iconic designs. This reissue pays homage to its 1939 predecessor with a one-piece mahogany body and neck, ensuring a warm, resonant sound that feels both rich and timeless. The plexiglass fretboard adorned with traditional Art Deco inlays transports you to an era where craftsmanship and artistry were paramount.

Musicians will appreciate the powerful output of the Epiphone 500B Blade humbucking pickup, delivering a clear and robust tone that cuts through the mix with ease. The "Circus Tent" control knobs offer vintage aesthetics while providing intuitive control over your sound, enhancing both playability and style. The lap steel's design is further accentuated by a vintage-style metal Epiphone headstock badge, capturing the essence of the original model.

Modern players will enjoy the practicality of the non-slip rubber pads, which keep the lap steel securely positioned during performances. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this instrument's included gig bag ensures safe transport, making it a reliable companion for any musician.
