gsxrrr Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Whoops, I've accidently bought another guitar. I got this yesterday, it's absolutley beautiful. I think it's a 1955 Gibson century 6 lap steel with a P90 pickup. As soon as I got it I plugged it in, tuned it to E and started to play the blues, it sounds great. What a piece of history. All I need now is a rocking chair and a porch.;) If any of you guys have any information about this instrument that you wouldn't mind sharing let me know as I'm keen to find out as much as possible. It was an impulse buy, I'd never even seen one before, but I'm glad I got it and will give the old beauty a good home. Anyway must go now, I can feel those North Coventry delta blues coming on again:-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxrrr Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'd love to but it took my daughters help just to get photos up, she thinks I'm some kind of Ludite and I tend to agree. You've more chance turning your head to the wind and seeing if you can here me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrrr Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ok I'm now answering questions out of line, thats my tech ability. Yeh when I say accidentally it's like you said, I just saw it and thought I'd buy it. I paid £500 pounds for it, which I think is around $750. I don't now what it's worth but I am happy with what I paid, as long as someone doesn't come on here and say they go for a hundred bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbursted Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'll bet it's pretty heavy. Cool find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrrr Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Not too heavy as it's not that big, but then it sits on your lap so it doesn't really matter too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
