Selling for a friend who does not play. First date of manuf. was 1947 . . . if you can find a good dating source on the serial number, we can get an actual date. Gibson Centry Lap Steel (serial no.1396), original case and w/Kluson bar (PAT.#1904335) in original box.
It has some dings on the back edge near the head stock, normal wear on back of body, damaged switch input plate. General appearance is good. Input switch needs to be replaced - works if you wiggle it. I can replace it, but would rather not - want to leave it with original parts attached - I'll leave that up to you.
Asking $425.00 or best reasonable offer + shipping. I have not posted on ebay yet, just wanted to see if any of you guys wanted it first. Check out the You Tube of "Ghost Riders" on a Century Steel. Having trouble uploading pics, but if you are interested I'll email them to you.
