Rickenbacker Electro Model B Lap Steel 1937 - 1945
5 available from $2,100The Rickenbacker Model B lap steels from 1937 introduced a second control knob, which moved from the bass side to the treble side some time in 1939. Other minor cosmetic differences came year-to-year, such as an occasional plastic control plate, the exact type of knobs used, and white outlines on the frets. These were also the first Model B instruments to have different colors for the decorative plates on the face of the body, with black plates being the rarest. - 27
Rickenbacker Model 59 Lap Steel 1937
2 available from $8The 1937 Rickenbacker Model 59 can be distinguished from later models due to it having just a single volume control. 1938 (and possibly 1939) models added a second knob for tone control before these instruments were quickly discontinued. Nearly identical instruments were available post-war as model NS (or simply S) with Shaded Gray finish. - 31
Rickenbacker Model 59 Lap Steel 1938 - 1943
One available for $849.95The Rickenbacker Model 59 underwent a minor change in its second year of production, adding a second control knob which quickly moved from the opposite side of the volume control to the same side. The later Shaded Gray instruments are difficult to distinguish from the later "NS" model, but can be easily identified by confirming that the width of the pickup magnet is 1 1/2". - 40

One available for $1,299.99The first run of Rickenbacker Model B lap steels feature a bakelite body and with bolt-on neck, a horseshoe pickup, and a single volume control on the treble side of the body.
