Does anyone know the rough value of a '52 Fender Deluxe 6 lap steel in near mint (but with some paint flaking) condition and also its tweed case? Totally completely original.
Thanks,
Brad

$50. Can I pay by PayPal? 
I am no Fender expert, but when I was looking out for my first lap steel (ended up with a National New Yorker) on eBay in 2005, good condition Fender Deluxes seemed to sell in the $500 region. Now the prices are probably one or two hundred Dollars above that. I'll leave the fine tuning of the appraisal to the people who know more.

Fred, it is for sale, but we're honing in on a price.
Thanks,

I think that is a Champion? Not a deluxe 6. A deluxe 6 has 2 pickups like a stringmaster. However I am not completely sure.

This Deluxe 8 sold for a little over $600 on ebay and I'm thinking an eight would bring more than a six.

Thanks Jude.
Jim, this is the early Deluxe, before they ditched the trapezoid pickup and went to the Stringmaster style under the strings.

A little flaking paint gives it character 
I'll bet it sounds good  |
