Ok, I'm the Papa of a busy 14 month old boy, so I'm seriously downsizing my gear as I will be spending more time at playgrounds than in practice rooms for the forseeable future (maybe he's sending me some sort of subliminal msg. via the t-shirt?)

...plus he's showing signs of being a drummer ...Whoa!

Without further ado, I'm selling a bevy of very fine lap steels from the good folks at Valco/Supro/National.

All guitars complete with either soft-shell or hardshell cases, the MOTS (2 brown and 1, I dunno, black-silver-grey?) and the 2 cream are $299 ea. shipped, the 2 National Dynamics are sold.

No trades, PayPal ok but we split fees, buy more than one or take 'em all and we can talk volume discount Very Happy

no headstock logos (per original, they have not been previously removed); the guitar pictured in upper and left position in the photos has been sold.

It almost looks like one of your Dynamics has a MOTS finish. Is that so?

Gregg, PM replied to Very Happy

Jim, indeed, one of the Dynamics does appear to have a subtle MOTs-ish finish Surprised

Damn, if I wasn't saving up for some powered monitors I'd be pestering you for that last Dynamic. Sad
