Electar 6 string lap steel

Bill Taft · From: Sturgeon Mo. USA * R.I.P.

I need some help on this I bought it from Donna Jackson Shot's widow she had sold his whole collection to Jim Murphey, but found this later in the closet and sold it to me and gave me the receipt and the story of how she didnt know she had it and shot had it in his privite collection which is no lie she is a wonerful woman of her word. I think shot told her it was a 35 0r 36 great looking lap with an old black hard case that has a E in the inside top that looks like a epiphone emblem the pickup looks like a old fender tele pickup and this thing looks all original has 2 knobs one volume the other says soft mellow master voicer brilliant can someone tell me what it might be worth and just what it is ser# is 6298 Electra ZEPHYR the keys are great closed back and is stamped with a E like epeiphone metal tag on back reads messner inventions inc Millburn NJ has felt pad on back and pad on back of neck mail me at billrt@centurytel.net sometimes that is the only way I get my mail.

I own two Epiphone lap steels. one is a Century Electar the other a Zephyr. your serial code and dates are about right.

my Century is the black steel. the Zephyr is yellow. that lap steel is a fine player. I had the pickup rewound by Lindy Fralin. it roars.

on eBay they sell for around 350$. Vintage Guitar magazine has them going from 250 in worn condition and 450 in top shape.
