Got my first steel guitar!
Saw it in the wild so I had to get it. I have a few years of experience with slide guitar so I hope the learning curve isn’t too steep.

Framus Superior Lap Steel
Hi everyone, first time lap steel owner here. Came across this at a flea market for a price I couldn’t refuse. As far as I can tell, it’s a 1965 Framus Superior Lap Steel, with the original case. It still has the banana jacks, and I don’t see any other obvious modifications, but I figured I’d come here and see what more I could find out sharing with this group. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts or further details regarding this thing. Thanks!

Is this worth it?
I found a Shogun Maverick for $1200 (cheapest I could find within my budget), but I don't know enough about pedal steels to know if this is worth it. It seems like even just a year or 2 ago they were all so much cheaper, and that everything on the market now is insanely priced.
Here's the listing. I don't want to buy it if I'm being absolutely ripped off, but I do really want a decent pedal steel to get started on.
This Vintage Sho-Bud Maverick S10 10-String Pedal Steel Guitar is in very good condition and as far as I can tell, was made between 1979 and 1980 . The 3 pedals and lever all function just as they should and this steel plays and sounds great! Great for learning on or even for someone with more experience. There is a minor crack in the vinyl covering near the upper side of the tuner pan, totally cosmetic. That can be seen in the pictures. Complete with the original Hardshell Case that is also good condition. Sho-Bud Maverick S10!
Is this within the realm of reasonable, or is this guy trying to rip me off?
