One year old, very lightly used Asher Electro-Hawaiian Jr lap steel.  Very good +  condition -- I only see one minor blemish, where the finish has rubbed away a bit.  You can see all the info about these guitars at http://www.asherguitars.com/lap_steel_electro_h_jr.php.  These guitars are small enough to be great for traveling with, and a light gig bag is included.  I've also posted a short clip at YouTube so you can see and hear the guitar.

Right now these are retailing for $759 list, $675 at Elderly.  A "factory second" on ebay was $540, and with the one minor blemish, I would put this guitar at about that level.  It plays great, sounds great.  Even sounds  pretty good with no amplification at all.    I'm selling for $475, plus shipping.  Let me know if you're interested!

Ok so how do some of the hero's like Jerry D and Rob pick up new licks? I'm guessing by listening to other music like blues and rock? I have been listening to some guitar gods and wondering who some of you listen to? By the way I have been listening to this and can't believe how good this really is!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxTWQD91b5c#movie_player   I didn't know if I could post non reso playing on Resonation but I think the word "Resonation' fits here don't you think?  Enjoy!!!

I seen yesterday a guitar that Jerry Douglas plays it's a Tele lap steel????  Anybody got a clue who made this guitar? and if so how do I get intouch with em?

I have an all original pre-war Richenbacher 1937 B7 bakelite lap steel with original case. It has two small chips on the top edge.

It's otherwise in excellent condition. Works perfectly and sounds incredible. I'd like to trade it for a reso and some cash, along the lines of a

Rob Ickes Wechter/Scheerhorn. I would also consider trading it for a Reso and another Lap steel, straight across, depending on

what you are offering. Cash price is $2K shipped. I will send a link to some hi res pictures to those seriously interested.
