Up for sale, a 1963 Fender Champ lap steel in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Via the black bobbin single coil, the tone has a chiming quality with a bell-like sweetness to the sound that is equal parts twang and silk. It's an articulate and round-sounding single coil that's notably responsive to user inputs. This Champ has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with a fresh set of 15-35 strings.

The gloss Desert Sand nitro lacquer shows a bit of scuffing along the pick path, a sliver of finish wear on the body edge just beyond the Fender waterslide decal, and some scattered minor dings on the body as a whole. The green felt pad on the back is near mint.

The original brown tolex “knucklebuster” hardshell case is included.
