Electar Century 1939 Lap Steel

The Epiphone Electar Century 1939 Lap Steel is a reissue of the iconic Art Deco-inspired Hawaiian lap steel guitar, originally designed by Herb Sunshine. This modern take on the classic features a one-piece mahogany body and neck with an Ebony finish, echoing the sleek look of its 1939 predecessor. The Plexiglass fingerboard showcases a traditional 1939 Art Deco replica inlay with 28 frets for accurate intonation across all positions. Perfect for both collectors and players, this lap steel brings history back to life with precision and style.

Epiphone Blade Humbucker for Powerful Sound

The Electar Century is equipped with an Epiphone 500B Blade Humbucker, offering powerful tone and superior clarity. The combination of the humbucker with the aluminum bridge and tailpiece delivers a smooth and authentic lap steel sound that excels in any performance setting. The vintage "Circus Tent" knobs provide easy control of volume and tone, while the non-slip rubber pad on the back ensures the lap steel stays secure during play.

True to Its 1939 Heritage

Faithful to the original design, the Electar Century features a raised 2.5" aluminum nut and Wilkinson Deluxe 3-in-Line machine heads with ivory-colored buttons for vintage aesthetics and superior tuning stability. The traditional headstock is adorned with a vintage-style Epiphone badge, and the lap steel is finished off with nickel hardware for a truly period-correct appearance. This reissue captures the spirit of the original while incorporating modern upgrades for today's player.
