Is anyone a player of these early Gibson pedal guitars? Last night I had a look at what I believe is an early 1940's, 8 string Electra Harp. These are not of much interest to me but this particular instrument is in absolutely pristine condition. It looks as good as the day it left the factory. I only saw the console and not the pedal arrangement, and I am not sure about a case, but this instruments looks to have never been played. I will try to post some photos and find out more. It has beautiful curly maple with a sunburst finish. The plastic covers over the tuning machines and changer mechanism don't even have fingerprints on them. The owner is looking to sell the guitar, I told him that to my knowledge these are not sought after by current players but one in this condition may be of interest to a collector. More to follow.

I have one of these guitars, it has great tone, fun to play. The pedals can raise the strings, but it is not fond of lowers. the bottom photo shows the guitar out of the body, seems to be well built and easy to work on.
