Description

A little piece of history... A 1935 Gibson EH-150 made out of solid aluminum. These are very rare little critters and this one is not only 100% original but it comes with the ORIGINAL AMP!! If you collect lap steels, this is the rarest one, and the one to get. The birth of electric guitars... here it is. Bought from the original family, the amp and guitar have been together since birth... almost 90 years ago. The guitar is all original, it just has some wear and pencilled notations on the fretboard that will rub off if need be... the pots are a little scratchy.The amp does not work and its never been serviced (it even has the cover!)... it lights up, and the three tubes on the right light up, but the one on the left doesn't. No smell of burning or anything, just no output. Not sure how to replace a tube that old. For me it was just for show.
