gibson electric guitar serial numbers
how much is a Gibson steel electric guitar from 1936 worth?
There are no serial numbers that I can find without taking it apart, I would like to avoid dismantling it.
These people would be the best to speak with.

They have a 1936 Gibson lap steel for sale for $900. They also buy old instruments, and would probably give you a fair (if not overly generous) price on your vintage instrument.
Follow the link for a series of photos of this lap steel.
