Description
Perhaps the first instrument designed for slide play, Weissenborn-style Lap Steel guitars have been played by artists spanning all decades and styles. From Joseph Kekuku to Ben Harper, the mellow sound of this unique instrument has been inspiring artists since the turn of last century. We are excited to offer the Gold Tone GT-WB, a genuine Weissenborn-style guitar at a great price. Come down and try your steel today!
*Disclaimer from the manufacturer- The strings supplied (gauged .014, .018, .026w, .034w, .044w, .056w) allow for G (DGDGBD), D (DADF#AD) and similar tunings. Your Weissenborn will not tolerate the excessive tension exerted by E tuning (EBEG#BE), Dobro G tuning (GBDGBD) or similar tunings. Using these or other non-recommended tunings will void the warranty. The total string tension exerted on ANY Gold Tone Weissenborn guitar should be no more than 165 lbs. when tuned to standard (A440) pitch. There are several online string-tension calculators available such as this one to help you to determine the correct string gauges for any tuning you might want to utilize.
