A beautiful British-supplied classic - the Selmer Pro Electric Lap Steel.
During the 40s, Hawaiian guitars were vying for supremacy against the Spanish style. A Hawaiian guitar craze was building in England and Selmer responded with the Pro Electric Lap Steel, which was highly modelled after its popular American counterparts.
All original, playing nicely and sound very nice. The pickups on these models are beautifully warm, sound beautifully clear and break up beautifully when driven.
The 1/4 cable is built into the side of the guitar as pictured and is functioning as it should.
