1947 Gibson BR-4 Steel

Oh, my name is Joe
And you know I come from Toronronronronronto
Where everybody talks
and nobody nobody seems to care

True words from the one and only Mendelson Joe, previous owner of thisawesome guitar, who proudly inscribed his name on the side of the case. Mr.Joe was the backbone of the Mainline Triumvirate, a '60's Canadian phenom.

Made for just one year, this post-war model is one of the best looking andyet affordable of Gibson's lapsteels. All original including those '40'stuners we should have saved for an expensive guitar. The guitar looks,plays, and sounds great, the case is a little beat. Own a piece ofhistory...
