I've never seen a 10 string Fender lap. What brand is this guitar?

Ron

http://cgi.ebay.com/1950s-Vintage-10-String-Fender-Lap-Steel-Guitar-W-Case-/300434132301

added: the seller corrected the listing but the model is still a mystery.

It looks a lot like a Guyatone or a Teisco (Japan). Of course the seller says "it is certainly a Fender". Cool

I would vote for a homemade model but Japanese is as good a guess as any. It is DEFINITELY not a Fender.

Flag them in the security section. That is blatant misrepresentation.

I hope their 'reserve' isn't higher than $101.00.

...and ignorance. The seller has no idea what he's talking about. I wish sellers would do their research before calling their oddball steel guitars "Fender", "Gibson", etc.
