1956 Fender Deluxe 8 Vintage Console Lap Steel Guitar Blonde Ash w/ Tweed Case & Legs
Up for sale, a 1956 Fender Deluxe 8 console steel in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and telescoping legs. This Deluxe features a Blonde nitro lacquer finish over the ash body, 100% original save for a replacement set of Kluson Deluxe tuning machines (originals included).
Via the original pair of black bobbin single coil pickups, this console steel has an extremely sweet, articulate, and dynamic sound. The trebles have quintessential Fender sparkle and percussive cut, with the midrange detail and note attack inherent in ash as a tonewood, and the Pickup Blend wheel allows for a smooth gradient between the two pickups. This Deluxe 8 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with a fresh set of 14-54 strings.
Specs:
-Scale Length: 22 1/2“
-String Spacing: 2 1/8“ at nut
-Playing Surface: Block position markers
-Headstock: Pat. Pend tuning machine tray
-Tuners: Kluson Deluxe (modern replacement, originals included)

-Harness: Stackpole pots date to 41st week of 1956
The gloss Blonde nitro lacquer finish has great transparency and only faint aging of the clear coat, and wear is limited to minor finish chips and scuffs consistent with careful use.
The original lacquered tweed “knucklebuster” hardshell case is included, along with the chrome-plated telescoping legs and original tuning machines.
