Qld Maple / Bunya Model III

Model III made from local species Queensland Maple & Bunya Pine

A Model II with a difference. The Qld Maple/Bunya combination is an emerging alternative to the traditional guitar timbers Mahogany and Spruce. Owing to these alternative timbers, the tone of this guitar features a bright, sharp tone that has a stronger midrange than Tasmanian Blackwood guitars. Ideal if you're after a Weissenborn style guitar with less of the trademark Blackwood warmth!
  • Figured Queensland Maple back/sides.
  • Bunya Pine soundboard
  • Grover Rotomatic tuners (nickel).
  • Figured Tasmanian Blackwood Binding on top edge.
  • Macassar Ebony fretboard with blackwood and mother of pearl inlay.
  • Macassar Ebony bridge.
  • Single Tasmanian Blackwood soundhole ring.
  • Gloss 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.


Price: AUD$50. Regular postage in Australia/NZ is $7.00. $15 to international locations.

Gold Tone Weissenborn Case
