Could anyone tell me what would be a reasonable price for a
singleneck(6-string) Fender lapsteel. Looks abit like a "junior-model",
square fretmarkers, numbers at the frets, cream-colored body, chromeplated
plate with vol/tonepots,telestyle-knobs, black singlecoil pickup, serial number 8105.
The legs are missing, it seems there used to be a round "thing" screwed
to the underside that might have held the (3?)legs. Would anyone have a picture of a likewise underside, I'd like to put it back on it's feet.
All help much appreciated. rob. |

I am looking for what you describe for my granddaughter to learn on.I cannot determine
a price that would be fair,but I would pay up to $200.00 for a guitar as you describe.
That would be the "Student Deluxe" and the retail list price was $100.00 case included & it did come standard with flanges for legs
but the legs were optional and listed for
$37.50 for the 3 telescoping legs.
I hope this helps..thats a nice guitar. Good luck. |

Jody, Paul, thanks very much.
Still hoping to see some pictures of the original, perhaps an old catalog? rob. |

Rob, I don't have pictures of the bottom, but the guitar in question probably looks like this.

Well Brad, thanks for the picture. It seems mine is something inbetween these two. It has the black screw-on Fendernametag instead of the decall of the Champ. The tuning pegs are metal like the Champ has, the pick-up is black like on the Champ. Also, the three heavy legs on the Studio Deluxe would require three holes in the underside, mine has only one "round flange" in the middle. I guess it used to hold a light form of tri-pod.
Allnall I suppose it's a Champ I have here on my lap. Thanks again, if anyone knows more about the tripodstructure, perhaps a picture, I'd be much obliged. rob. |

| I have a picture of the underside of my Deluxe 6. I don't think I can attach a file though. How is this done? I don't have a URL. |
