Old Gibson Lap Steel Guitar

Lap and steel guitars are different to traditional guitars in that the bridge and nut at the end of the fingerboards are raised in height, usually by about half an inch. The frets can’t be used because of this, but some lap steel guitars can be marked. Other lap steel guitars can have mixed play from lap and conventional, but some are specifically designed just for lap with modified necks making it impossible to play conventional. Are electric guitars that can shorten and even stop the length of strings using a metal slider. Its name comes from where it uses knee levers and foot pedals to affect the pitch of the guitar.

[Gear]: A rare old Gibson steel

First of all, PICS!

The BR-6 was Gibson’s mid-line lap steel in the late 1940s and 1950s. Listed at $99.50 in the mid ‘50s, it was more ornate than the student-oriented BR-9 and Skylark models but less flashy than the more expensive Royaltone, Century and Ultratone. Introduced in 1946 with a black body and exposed pickup, the BR-6 was redesigned a couple of years later with a bound mahogany body finished in sunburst with a gold plastic fixture that served as a control panel and hand rest.

Gibson did a fair amount of experimentation and custom work on their steel line in the 1950s. Console models that were nominally double-necks sometimes turn up with a third neck. Extra strings sometimes turn up on models that were nominally only built with six. There were even a few mass-produced model variations attested in shipping records that never appeared in catalogs or price lists. One of these variations was the BR-6B, of which 77 were shipped between 1956 and 1959.

The movie put as much of a spotlight on tricked-out cars as it did on its cast, and the resulting effect caused a huge surge of interest in the import racing scene. It’s hard to talk about an import car racing game without mentioning the movie The Fast and the Furious. Need for Speed Underground is EA’s attempt to get involved, and it’s mostly a success. In the wake of the film, a number of other properties have risen up to try to claim a piece of the lucrative scene as its own.

Folks have speculated what the “B” denoted, and a few sources speculate that it was a return to the black finish of the BR-6’s first design. However, a few BR-6s have turned up over the years with a blonde finish and black trim – like my new acquisition – so it’s now pretty certain that this is the BR-6B. Functionally, it’s like the standard BR-6 of its time, with a mahogany body and P90 pickup. Aesthetically, the creamy finish, black binding and matching control plate give it something of a “tuxedo” effect. I think it’s a better looking instrument than its sunburst counterparts – and, as we all know, a snappier appearance means better tone.

The P90 gives a brighter tone than the non-adjustable pickup used on most Gibson steels into the early ‘50s. As such, I find this is a better rock and roll instrument but not as well-suited to Hawaiian music as earlier Gibson steels. I made a sound clip using a 1954 Valco-built Eharp amp.
