Model I
Natural Simplicity
Basic Weissenborn style acoustic lap steel. Loosely based on the original Style One Weissenborn. It is ideal for those after a simple unassuming guitar that is very natural in appearance, built to the same exacting standards as all subsequent models but without the added trims and customisations. The lack of binding and its low-key satin finish gives this guitar a very earthy appearance.
- Tasmanian Blackwood top/back/sides.
- Chrome Ghoto or Nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners
- No top/back edge binding.
- Fretboard bound with Tasmanian Blackwood.
- Solid maple soundhole rings.
- Satin lacquer finish.
From AUD$1,600

Below are accessories available for Weissenborn and lap steel guitars.
Shubb-Pearse SP2 Slide
One of the best lap steel slides on the market. I find myself always coming back to the SP2 because of its comfortable shape, heavy mass and semi-bullet tip designed to make solos and tricky slide work a piece of cake.
Price: $50. Regular postage in Australia/NZ is $7.00. $15 to international locations.
Gold Tone Weissenborn Case
This hardshell case fits all acoustic Weissenborn style guitars offered on this website, as well as original Weissenborns, other replicas and many other hollowneck slide guitars, including the Cole Clark Violap.
It features an internal design to safely and snugly hold the guitar's square hollow neck.
Due to their size, delivery via Australia Post is not available. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a case. Pickup is available from my Brisbane workshop, or they can be delivered within Australia via courier.
Price: $350. Contact me to order.
