1950’s Fender Forest White Model 6-String Lap Steel Guitar

Vintage 1950's Fender Forest White model LAP STEEL guitar and case
Manufacture: USA
Condition: Very good

Here we have a vintage 1950s Fender lap steel guitar branded as a "white".

Includes original case, legs and a steel bar. Very good condition for its age showing only minimal signs of wear for an instrument this old. The "White" label was a short lived brand created by Leo Fender to honor Forest White, the production manager who had been instrumental in fender's growth. The brand was used as a way to sell Fender gear to non Fender accounts without upsetting the current accounts - it was short lived and very few were made, fewer still remain in good condition.
