Up for sale, a 1998 Fender Deluxe 6 console lap steel model DX-6 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and telescoping legs. This “Crafted in Japan” steel faithfully captures the look and tone of a ‘60s Deluxe 6, featuring chrome-plated legs (corresponding flanges on the underside of the steel) and a gloss Olympic White finish.
The tone is quintessential Fender single coil richness and chime, and the pickups yield a bell-like sweetness that is equal parts twang and sweetness. Beneath the bridge cover, a Pickup Blend wheel adjusts the balance between the two coils. This Deluxe 6 has been freshly restrung here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 15-33 strings.
