Does anyone recognize that instrument? I've never seen anything quite like it.
As for the text, that has to be a Google translation! |

| I bought a Havana lap steel on eBay a few years ago because I just thought it looked cool. I took it apart and was amazed to find that it had hand made electronic components and it looked like the pickup cavity was cut out with a chisel. I thought it was made in Cuba but I didn't find any marks on it telling where it was made. Eventually, I want to make a new body for it and make it playable again. Mine has the same design but a different color scheme. I got mine for under $200 and it was sort of playable when I got it. |

| So it's definitely NOT worth 2 grand! |

| It appears that a realistic price was lost in translation, as well. |

Almost like lyrics to a Tom Waites song ...
I am used after antirust treatment to a screw

LOL! Me too, actually, but in my case the "antirust treatment" is belting down 3 or 4 stiff ones...

That Havana just screams 1950's Japan. So does this Teisco.
