It's a Fender FS52 lap steel, their most recent lap steel offered. I see these on eBay being offered for $350 with no takers. Do a search for FS52 on this forum and you'll find more information.

It's a Fender FS-52, made in China, introduced by Fender in 2005 and now discontinued. It's modeled after a Fender Princeton lap steel, late 1940s. It was not well received by players. I've played a couple of these, and they don't have much sustain. Not much output from the pickup IMO. They sold new for about $500, and used ones sell for about $250.
