Did Gibson ever use a radiused bridge like on a Les Paul Jr on the Century 6 lap steel? All the pictures I've seen they look flat. I'm checking one out right now and other than this it looks all original
The bridge also doesn't have the two adjustment screws at the back.

| Page 106-107 of the of the Gibson Electric Steel Guitars book by A.R. Duchossoir has a photo of such a guitar. This stop tailpiece appears to have a flat surface for the strings, unlike the versions used for standard guitars. I've never seen one in person. |

Did it look like this one, Frank? No adjustment screws on this one either, although it has been tapped to receive them. This bridge is flat, not radiused:
