Serial #B221 Very Beginning of Fender 40's Lap Steel

This is the beginning of the beginning of the beginning.  It's serial #B221 which I believe is a 1948, but I am not 100% sure. 

But this is not just a wall hanging museum piece, it sounds absolutely amazing.  It's a screamer with separate volume and tone control which most early models did not have.  It has the super old lightening logo.  The tuners are not original to the instrument.  I think I have the originals in the case.  

This instrument pre-dates the telecaster and most likely pre-dates the broadcaster.  Own a piece of Fender and musical history. 

All sales are final.  We will accept a return is the description is radically different than the instrument.  But there is a 40% restocking fee.  Please ask a lot of questions.
