1962 Gibson Skylark EH-500 Lap Steel, Serial Number 81044
With its mid-century lines, gleaming nickel hardware, and natural Korina construction, this 1962 Gibson Skylark EH-500 Lap Steel brings serious style to the world of student-grade instruments. Originally introduced in 1957 and produced into the mid-late 1960s, the Skylark offered an affordable gateway into lap steel playing—and today remains one of the most accessible ways to experience vintage Gibson Korina construction.
Shipped from Gibson on October 3, 1962, this example is a notably clean original with no breaks or repairs. The black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors, nickel control plate, and Kluson® Deluxe 3-on-a-plate tuners with black buttons are all correct and unmodified. Its bridge-mounted Gibson single-coil pickup reads 7.38k, and the original electronics remain intact, with pot codes dating to the 37th and 40th weeks of 1961. The hard-stamped serial number on the back of the headstock matches Gibson’s 1962 numbering system.
The natural nitrocellulose finish retains a warm amber hue, showing only minimal checking and a few light nicks around the edges. Metal components display very light tarnishing. The original brown case with red plush lining is included, with a replaced handle. Tuned to C6 (C-E-G-A-C-E), this Skylark is light, compact, and ready to play straight out of the case.
Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
