Here's another fascinating one from my recent trip to @folkwaymusic in Waterloo, Canada. . What we have here is an incredibly clean #Gibson #Skylark #lapsteel & #amplifier outfit from 1960, including original case, steel, and accessories, as well as the original shipping box for the #GA5 #amp. Dig that Gibon #korina! You can get the very same wood in a late 50s #FlyingV (but you're going to have to pay about 200x more for it and it won't come with an #amp! 😆) . This is one of those elusive under-the-bed finds where the original set is intact, just the way it left the dealer 60 years ago (note that even the original schematic for the amp is in the case!) and it's immaculate. I wish I had taken the time to learn #steelguitar so I could justify adding this set to my collection! . . #gibsunday #gibsonskylark #lapsteelguitar #vintagelapsteel #vintageguitar #vintagegibson #guitar #guitars #gibsonguitars #amplifiers #amps #tubeamp #vintageamp #gibsonamp #guitarphotography #ampphotography (at Folkway Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHwUfvhP6T/?igshid=1dxs1s8ftfa1u

Working on another ambient lap steel part for a project by my friend @musicdiscoverylab ...going for a more restrained and cyclical part on this take- but this is just one of a few ideas I’m hearing! Playing my vintage 1930s Epiphone Electar Lap Steel into logic X with FX supplied by Native Instruments Guitar Rig. #lapsteel #lapsteelguitar #epiphoneguitars #vintagenationalguitars #restraint #guitarrig #guitarrig5 #nativeinstruments #trackingguitar #creativity #makingmusic #onlinecollaboration #qarantine #quarantinemusic #comingupwithideas #vintagelapsteel #baltimore #ambientmusic #ambient #logicx #usewhatyougot #recordingdirect #slideguitar #slideguitarist (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ggo3pH2W0/?igshid=u2qow5jmmkef

And now for something completely different... . 1930s #Gibson 7 string # spotted at @thetwelfthfret #Toronto. I think it is an #EH150 from 1936 or early '37 based on the lack of headstock inlay (models before mid-1937 had no headstock inlay), the unbound pickup (which corroborates the prior to mid-1937 date) and the bridge design (which was used beginning in early 1936). I have always wanted to get into lapsteel and I think these early Gibsons are so beautiful . PS: thanks to AR Duchossoir's book "Gibson Electric Steel Guitars 1935 - 1967" for help with dating! . . #gibsoneh150 #hawaiianelectric #steelguitar #lapsteelguitar #vintagelapsteel #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at The Twelfth Fret Guitarists' Pro Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2C49cLByl4/?igshid=1qlay2xpgkji6

This may not seem very exciting at first...Just a heavily worn #vintage #lapsteel #guitar, right? Kind of generic looking in fact (unless you know what it is!). But if you read the tag and it says "1947 #Fender #Deluxe Lap #Steel", and then you realize that this is one off the earliest Fender #guitars ever made. K&F (the predesesor of Fender) was founded in 1946 and this guitar is from '47. You won't find many #Fenders are older than this one. It was made 3 years before the #Broadcaster (later renamed the #Telecaster) was invented, and 7 years before the Stratocaster! An eternity! I don't know hardly anything about #lapsteels, so I can't tell you if this guitar was all original etc, or if the price (around $1200 CAD if I remember correctly) was reasonable in this condition...it looked pretty "used"! But I should look so good at the age of 70. If I even make it to that age. Which is a long shot at best. 😆 Spotted at the #Elmira #GuitarShow last weekend in Elmira, Ontario, Canada. #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #vintagefenders #lapsteelguitar #vintagelapsteel #steelguitar #guitarphotography

One of the grooviest #guitars I have seen in long time: 1962-ish #Mason #lap #steel with matching "walking note" wedge-shaped #amplifier, available at @folkwaymusic, in #Waterloo, Canada. This #guitar was made in the town of Galt, Ontario, just down the road from #Folkway's shop in fact. The #headstock #decal is killer, and the #amp's grill cloth with the ambulatory #musical #notes just tickles me pink! Every time I come across a gorgeous #vintage #steelguitar like this one, I kick myself for never having learned to play steel! They are so affordable relative to regular vintage guitars. One day I'll buy me an early 50s #Fender #Champ or a 1930s #Gibson #EH150... #guitarshopping #steelguitars #vintageguitar #vintagesteel #vintagelapsteel #madeincanada #vintageamp #guitarphotography
