This 1947 Gibson BR-4 lap steel is the ultimate in art deco coolness.

A beautifully preserved piece with no changes, repairs or issues.  

The steel is clean but shows typical checking and some superficial wear.  Removing the pickup reveals the P-90 pickup that has an ultra cool, tortoise bobbin plate.  

The pickup is hot and the electronics work just as they should.

The original case is in similarly excellent condition.
