1947 Kiesel lap steel guitar great WORKING order and great physical condition for it's age {75 years old}. I would call it excellent condition if it had all good white scale lines. Comes in it's original case with vintage Stevens APM & Co. slide, and 2 metal finger picks as shown. I do not know if the cord is original but the plug is old {see photo 8}. Kiesel was the predecessor to Carvin and manufactured steel guitars, pickups and amps from 1946-1949. In 1949 the name was changed to Carvin. This early lap steel is made from brown Bakelite with a wood insert { I show it opened to see the inside (photos 9 & 10) }-[it's missing one wood screw {see photo 11} don't know if there was even one in it to start with]. The pickup is the legendary AP-6 which was used for decades. Really a great sounding guitar with a classy look. 22.5" scale length, over-all length about 30" by 8.5" at it's widest point. Tha wood case measures about 32" x 10" x 3" and is in decant shape for it's age too (see photos) the red lining is very nice still but I would not trust the handle (it seems a bit loose).

ROMANS 10:9-15

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

FROM: The Holy Bible : King James Version
