$300 plus shipping
The Good: Nice looking/sounding vintage 8 string lap steel. Affordable. Comes with the case shown.
The Bad: The usual bumps and bruises an old guitar has. Some bent tuner post. There appears to be a gouge or chip by the tuners that was repaired. (see pictures) Tuners are kind of stiff. (They might just need lubrication, not sure)
There is a greenish stain on the sides by the nut (perhaps from an old stand?)
I put some new strings on it (C6th with high E) messed around a bit. I loved the sound, but 8 string just isn't my bag. Check out the pictures, message me if you have any questions. Thanks

I'm getting a lot of interest in this Magnatone. It caught me a bit unaware, as this post is from 3 years ago. I do still have it, and am still up for selling it, but I need to get some shipping materials together, and what not..
I'll contact everybody when I get it ready to go..
Thanks for the interest..
