Oahu Guitar Idenfication Help Please

Dennis Brooker · From: Iowa, USA

I posted one of my guitars on Craislist for trade and a guy wants to trade me an Oahu lap steel and sent me the photo below and I have NO idea what it is other than he said it's and Oahu - He wants to trade straight across and I value my guitar at $600.00 cash - Any and all help is appreciated and I am presuming that it is in good working order - I obviously have no idea of the model or value and my intention would be to offer for sale or trade here on the forum - Thanks - DB

It's not worth more than $300.
It's a Valco made steel and is exactly like a Supro of the same era.
The tuners are very interesting.

And from he looks of it, it has an amphenol connector....if you end up getting it, make sure he has the adapter or you'll be heading to your repair guy to install a regular 1/4" jack

For what it's worth, I have the Gretsch equivalent of this guitar. It's a relatively common lap steel. Although it can sound great, the previous posters' messages about its value and the Amphenol connector are very true. I replaced the Amphenol connector with a standard guitar jack.
