Dating Fender Lap-Steel

Dylan Schorer · From: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

My favorite lap-steel is a blonde Fender 6-string champ with the serial number -00622. Anyone know roughly what year this is from?

There's no way to tell from the serial number. If you take off the tuner pan, you should be able to find a date of manufacture pencilled in on the wood under it.

Pot codes, too. (But I'll bet it comes out mid/late '50s with the leading hyphen.)
