Just found a couple of these on US Ebay - I had no idea Gibson used the Mastertone moniker for anything other than banjos - seemingly they did.

They had a line of budget guitars which were branded "Master tone" as well.

I had a similar lap steel. Compared to other Gibson lap steel guitars, not the best.

It seemed outside of banjos, Gibson reserved the Mastertone label to the Brands low level offerings.
