![]() There was hardly any output on mine- the pickup ohmed out at around 7 Meg (instead of the expected 7-10k) so I was able to get a really good price on it. While it looks like a P90 pickup it is actually of the same construction as the Gibson Console Grande with magnetic pole pieces which makes sense because the Century came in 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 string configurations. I just bought one of those 2 weeks ago! Check the pickup- if the poles are non-adjustable then it is a 1948 or 1949 model. Does anyone know if these have a serial number? It's a nice sounding lap steel with a lot of sustain. This one has three knobs (two tone controls and a volume control). I do know that these black ones were made between 19, but I can't find a serial number on the guitar. ![]() ![]() I just acquired this Gibson Century 6 lap steel, and I'm wondering what year it was made. ![]()
