anyone recognize this lap steel? other than the serial number on the back of the headstock, there is no indication of what this is. enclosed is a picture of the guitar as well as the back of the headstock.
in a way, it looks like a ton of others but the markings on the fretboard may be the identifying factor.
thanks,
mikeB

thanks to steve and tom. wouldn't there have been some sort of logo on the headstock? well, i guess it could have been taken off or have fallen off.
thanks again,
mikeB

Looks just like the first guitar I had. On my unit the headstock said "Silvertone". It came from Sears & Roebuck.
I have been looking for one since I got back into steel guitar. If you decide on selling it, drop me a note.

thanks alan. i didn't think of oahu tonemaster as i usually see the ones with the shiny metal pickup cover with the musical signature on it. i'm still fairly new to lap steels.
thanks again,

It's not a Oahu Tonemaster but just a Tonemaster. Two different animals. There's my Tonemaster.

| The decal that was used on some of those has likely deteriorated & fell off.. |
