Fender champion lap steel case serial number#
Some features: - all slotted screws ('51 or earlier?) - pot codes are both '304930' (Stackpole, 30th week of 1949) - NO serial number on the bridge (WTF?) - original Kluson single line tuners, 'pat appld', correct for late 40's Fender - tuner buttons are near perfect pretty sure they are replacements - no masking tape label in the control rout - milled jack cup, correct 'Broadcaster' control knobs - yellow MOTS, blue felt on rear both in great condition - pickup appears to be original I have not desoldered the leads to measure resistance it works fine, however. I'm guessing late '49, early '50 but there are no date markings anywhere, and no serial number on the bridge plate.

I like it so much that I found the next best thing for another Tele: Don Mares 0038 is a close copy wound to 11.5K and sounds like the old lap steel pickup. It is in remarkable condition, and appears to be all original with the exception of a modern capacitor and replacement tuner buttons. Its from a 1950 Champion lap steel and has an added base plate for mounting. That amp itself went on to become very popular in some recording studios.
The Fender Champ Lap Steel was often sold as part of a starter set, with Fender’s smallest amplifier the 5 watt Champ. Would love to get some expert comments on the Champion Lap Steel I picked up this past week. This Fender Champ Lap Steel, built during 1959 at the Fender plant in Fullerton, California is in very nice, mostly original condition.
