Description

Edit description

According to Picker's Supply;

"This was the only lapsteel which was built by Gretsch, all other models where made by Valco. Solid mahogony construction, super resonant and with lots of sustain, untouched electronics, the original “harp-style” tuners are made by “Harlin Brothers” and work fine."
