Hi,
Not sure what he is now using but,
The steel on the top of the Fender looks like & probably is a,.. 1930's Oahu Lap Steel Tone Bar. I have a couple just like it.
They were my late fathers, and I've not used them for over 30 years.

Dear Jim,

thank you very much for the response. With your help I was able to find one on ebay. What a great family legacy having your dad's steels.

Peace,

Duncan
