Used Gibson Vintage 30s Lap Steel Electric Guitar

Gibson EH-150 Lap Steel

The EH-150 lap steel was introduced in January 1936, superseding Gibson’s aluminium-bodied E-150 but retaining its Charlie Christian pickup with bound blade and unbound outer edge.

Gibson got into the electric lap steel business in 1935 with a metal body E-150 and it had issues. So the following year Gibson introduced the EH-150 featuring the famous bar pickup that has since become known as the Charlie Christian pickup due to his affection for Gibson’s ES-150 electric guitar.  This rare model features the original Charlie Christian pickup, triple bound maple top, rosewood fretboard with V-end, mother of pearl dot inlays and Gibson logo.
