Really nice!
My first steel was a Model M--I bought it at a flea market for next to nothing, maybe $20, and I still have it. Mine was painted black, so all that cool Art Deco stuff wasn't seen until I started stripping it. My guitar is a total mess, but it sounds good with an Aiello pickup on it. I've recorded a few CDs with it.
They are not as nice to play as Rickenbachers, though. They feel 'different."

I think you have to change the pick up on a lot of these Epi's. Which destroys the collectable value a bit. That's a pretty high price for a wall hanger (IMO).

Yeah, the pickup on mine was a very strange contraption--the bobbin was essentially paper with wire and the magnet was also strange. These pickups were developed by Herb Sunshine.
