Steel guitar “set” or “outfit” with tweed amp. Really rare. The last time we saw a one-owner Studio Deluxe set was 30 years ago…and it was this one. Yes, 30 years ago we bought this guitar and amp – sold together in 1958 – from the original owner. Now we have it back. For vintage fans that’s just plain juicy. The amp, a narrow-panel tweed Champ, is a clean, all-original example with its factory 6” speaker that has not been reconed. Original handle, original gray cord (wow!), and we put it on a variac and let it warm up gently. The guitar is a 6-string “table steel” (with legs) and its original tweed case that has a broken handle. In period Fender catalogs you’ll notice these sets come with guitar, case, and amp, generally with the 6” speaker. The guitar has its original manual and polish cloth. Check out our video on Facebook and/or YouTube. These are simply the best lap steels you can buy for tone, durability, ease of maintenance and ease of use. We’d love to take it back in another 30 years. The amp comes with a new brown reissue Fender Champ cover.
