Vintage Gibson BR-3 lap steel guitar from the early postwar 1950s. This is an early BR-3 model featuring the classic numbered fretboard, original pickup, and beautiful solid wood body with rich vintage patina.
The guitar produces a warm, clear tone with great sustain—perfect for blues, Hawaiian, country, western swing, ambient, or experimental music. Electronics are working properly and the pickup sounds full and articulate.
Cosmetically, it shows honest wear consistent with age, which adds to its character and authenticity. A great piece for players, collectors, or studio use, and it also looks fantastic on display.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like additional photos.
