Description
This 1955 Fender Champion Lap Steel captures the streamlined design and unmistakable vintage character that helped define the sound of early electric Hawaiian, country, western swing, and roots music. Finished in Fender’s classic mid century styling, the Champion series became one of the company’s most recognizable lap steel platforms thanks to its compact build, responsive pickup design, and smooth playability for slide based performance techniques. This example includes the original hard case.
Vintage Fender lap steels from the 1950s are highly regarded for their rich, singing sustain and direct tonal response that records exceptionally well while still cutting clearly in live settings. The Champion series has remained popular among collectors and players alike because of its simple but effective layout and the unmistakable voice of Fender’s early electric instrument era.
