Produced from 1946 to roughly 1960, the BR-6 was Gibson's most popular post-war lap steel model.  The instrument was originally sold together with its namesake amp as a 'special Hawaiian outfit' package for a whopping $99.50!  By 1949 the BR-6 steel was available to purchase by itself for $52.50 and featured a bound all-mahogany body, Cremona sunburst finish and classic hourglass body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAged white binding, volume and tone controls on the treble side, un-numbered barrel knobs and gold control plate and hand rest.   A non-adjustable Alnico pickup has this steel sounding warm with just the right amount of cut.  The instrument is in great condition and is all-original, save for the 50's era Kluson tuners which are appropriate but a few years younger than the rest of the steel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith original hard shell case\r\n","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53613556728174,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/GibsonBR6-0513-main_238b1b3c-6a2e-4279-a500-c87c776e0772.jpg?v=1790965249","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1949-gibson-br-6-1806","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
