Traditional Model IV

Hawaiian Koa body with a low-key natural appearance

Owing to the natural bindingless look and the Hawaiian Koa body, this is a Model IV built in the tradition of Hermann Weissenborn's 'Style One'. The beauty of the Koa speaks for itself and the instrument has that classic rich tone that you can expect from this tonewood. This Model IV is topped off with a matching Koa fretboard in the style of original Weissenborns.
  • Hawaiian Koa top/back/sides
  • Solid maple soundhole rings.
  • Grover Rotomatic tuners (nickel)
  • Koa fretboard with Maple 'fret' inlay and genuine Abalone fret markers
  • Macassar Ebony bridge with Snakewood bridge pins
  • Sitka Spruce internal bracing
  • Genuine bone nut and saddle
  • Satin lacquer finish

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.
