Overview
A rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of American music history, this Vintage 1940s Eddie Alkire E Harp Black Lap Steel stands as a testament to early innovation in electric stringed instruments. Designed by Eddie Alkire and distinguished by its pioneering 10-string E-harp tuning system, this lap steel delivers the expanded harmonic depth and expressive capability that set Alkire’s work apart. While the original black finish exhibits visible cosmetic wear—such as scratches, dings, and tarnished hardware—its structure remains intact, offering a solid foundation for players, collectors, and vintage instrument enthusiasts alike. The electronics may benefit from servicing, consistent with its age, but all components appear to be original, preserving its authenticity and collectible value. Sold as-is due to its vintage nature, this lap steel is perfect for those who appreciate rare, historically significant instruments with a unique tonal character and a story to tell.
