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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipped from Gibson on October 3, 1962, this example is a notably clean original with no breaks or repairs.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural nitrocellulose finish retains a warm amber hue, showing only minimal checking and a few light nicks around the edges.
