1938 National Dobro / Supro Professional Lap Steel W/ OHC With Rare 2-Tier Body Design
This Lap Steel is in great shape for being 80+ years old! The guitar is in Very Good condition showing some wear and the Case is also in Very Good condition.
All electronics, tuners and controls work as new.
"Finally introduced in 1936 was National Dobro’s first wooden Hawaiian Electric Guitar. These Hawaiian laps were built by National Dobro in Chicago. This had a squarish pear shape, rather wide and frumpy, with two sharp points for shoulders and fairly wide cutaways.
This was “…solid wood finish, in hi-lited mahogany,” which is basically a shaded mahogany sunburst. The top was bound. A square neck rose up to a squared-off flat three-and-three head, now with plate tuners with plastic buttons.
The 26-fret fingerboard (23″ scale) had dot inlays plus little numbers written along the treble edge for each fret position! This first wood-body looks to have some sort of elevated pickguard, also made of wood.
The old, improved Stimson pickup was housed under a large, two-part rectangular cast bridge assembly with a slotted cover revealing the pickup poles, and a slightly elevated back section with rear slots for attaching the strings. Two little wings were appended to either side of this rectangular housing, the treble side with a volume knob, the bass side with a screw-on microphone-type plug attachment (this would be favored over 1/4″ plugs on Supro laps for years to come). A square metal Supro logo plate was mounted between the end of the fingerboard and the pickup cover.
This comforter, measuring 42" X 50" is made of the leftovers from the Delectable Mountains quilt, which is why I titled it "Foothills." It is machine-pieced and tied. This small lap robe will be donated to our local senior quilt group. Our finished pieces are either sold and the proceeds go back to the senior center organization or we donate them to various charities.
Pet photos are not my strong suite but when you have a dog that is this cute you just can't help but take his picture sometimes.
Lap's been a no-show for a lot of things recently, but he's here today! This is the first time we've seen him since May!

Alison Lapper who is an artist in her own right is the subject of the sculpture "Alison Lapper Pregnant" by Marc Quinn and was on display on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London in 2007. This statue is 12ft high and depicts Alison Lapper when she was 8 months pregnant. I have posted this today in honour of all the paralympians competing in London. This statue was used in the Opening Ceremony.
