Here is something you very rarely see for sale., It is a Cole Clark Lapdog with their fabulous horseshoe pick up which they only produced in small numbers and are now no longer able to make – a true collectors item. The story behind these is that Cole Clark received a letter from Rickenbacker asking them to cease production of the horseshoe pick-up as it violated a patent they had on that design. A shame, as it is a brilliant sounding pick up, especially in this instrument. So here is an opportunity to own one – not sure when your next chance will be. Here are some words re the Lap Dog The Lap Dog is a solid body, 6 string lap steel guitar. A great sounding, sweet playing bare bones approach, using quality tone woods and components and of course, the Cole Clark Horse Shoe single coil pickup. Tackle this with your favourite tone bar and a little tube warmth, you’ll be amazed at the punch the Lap Dog delivers. You might even say it bites. You don't have to look far to see Cole Clark's inspiration with this lap steel nor why Rickenbacker wrote to them. Sounds brilliant through a good valve amp, everything from sweet Hawaiian to grindy David Lindley type sounds. This example is in very good (some might say new) condition. Priced to begin to reflect the scarcity and collectability of this piece. No case but will be well packed for postage. Please feel free to email with any specific questions you may have. IMPORTANT - I will get back to you as quick as I can but delays may be due to either I’m busy at work/home or I need to refer to the item. Don’t leave your questions until the last moment! Good luck with your bidding, please feel free to bid early and often. Please also look at any other auctions I have running at this time. Postage The approximate packed weight is 5 kg. The approximate packed dimensions are 80 (length) X 38 (width) X 12 (height) cm. The Lap Dog will be well packed and I only charge my specific costs in postage i.e. stamp cost, packaging, bubble wrap, etc. Where possible and appropriate, I use recycled packing material to keep the cost down.
