The Silvertone Crest Lap Steel from 1941 is a classic vintage instrument that embodies the golden era of lap steel guitars. Known for its rich, resonant tone, smooth playability, and compact design, this lap steel is ideal for blues, Hawaiian, and early country-style playing. This particular example is in good condition, showing light wear consistent with age, but fully playable with all hardware intact and functional.
