Fender Champ Lap Steel Case - Vintage - $280 (Elkhart).This is vintage 50's or 60's Fender lap steel guitar case butterscotch tweed is in very good shape. It was made to fit Fender Champ or Fender Studio Deluxe. The only real difference is the Studio Deluxe is same shape as Champ but with legs, but there is no compartment for the legs. 1953 Fender Stringmaster Quad steel guitar - $3,000 (Garden Grove)Īll originalManufactured September 1953works great and sounds amazingI will also include a vintage fender volume/tone pedal.Would love to get some expert comments on the Champion Lap Steel I picked up this past week.

yellow MOTS, blue felt on rear both in great condition milled jack cup, correct "Broadcaster" control knobs no masking tape label in the control rout tuner buttons are near perfect pretty sure they are replacements original Kluson single line tuners, "pat appld", correct for late 40's Fender pot codes are both "304930" (Stackpole, 30th week of 1949) I'm guessing late '49, early '50 but there are no date markings anywhere, and no serial number on the bridge plate.

Pickup appears to be original I have not desoldered the leads to measure resistance it works fine, however. The guitar has great sound through my '64 Princeton! same case as yours, with blue plush interior the body wood appears to be pine is this typical for an early Champion? Impressive find! The lack of a serial number is a mystery. I have never heard of a Champion that did not have a serial number. In the Fender video about his signature Telecaster G.E. Smith talks about and plays his "1948" Champion and mentions its serial number ("22"!). So even the very early Champions do have a serial number. But apparently some left the Fullerton factory without getting stamped with one. Maybe your Champion started out as a demonstration model made for trade fairs or sales personnel? Some say the rare blue Champions were made for presentation purposes, but the blue Champions I have seen did have serial numbers! Confusing.
