1930s Coppock Hawaiian Steel Guitar, occasionally we come across instruments so rare that even we are surprised, and we’ve seen everything. Hens teeth would be appropriate in describing the rarity of this hand made finely crafted Hawaiian steel guitar by Coppock, small time Canadian boutique builder circa 1930s and 1940s. High quality hand made Hawaiian steel possibly inspired by National and sometimes mistaken for one, which it is clearly not. Apparently schooled and very adept at his trade this fine hand built instrument is stunning and a masterpiece of functional folk art. Highly contrasting colorful plastic panels, set in a National like Empire State Building shaped body, with a high gloss black lacquer back and sides, very attractive. Sounds and plays great, has a few replaced minor electronics, originals included. Comes with original Coppock hand made case with working latches and intact handle. All instruments are examined, cleaned and set up before selling. This thoroughly vetted instrument has, all original finish and hardware. No modifications or repairs, no cracks or breaks.
