For Sale: Western Red Cedar & Koa Model IV

Model IV with Western Red Cedar soundboard and Hawaiian Koa back and sides with truly amazing figuring

As the photos immediately show, this is a special guitar. This guitar is made from one of two sets of exceptionally figured Hawaiian Koa that I have acquired over the years. The depth of the amazing figuring throughout the sides and back needs to be seen in person to be truly believed. During construction, only a minimal black top edge binding was installed, leaving the back/side joint exposed to let the natural beauty of this guitar speak for itself. The guitar is finished with a thin satin finish.

Western Red Cedar gives this guitar an exceptional warmth in its tone and brilliant volume. The clarity of notes makes this lap steel ideal for delicate fingerpicking, but also equally lends itself to any number of other playing styles.

• Highly figured Hawaiian Koa back/sides
• Western Red Cedar soundboard (top)
• Black body binding (top edge only)
• Vintage style soundhole rosette
• Grover Rotomatic tuners (nickel)
• Macassar Ebony fretboard with Tasmaian Blackwood and mother of pearl inlay
• 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.

Gold Tone Weissenborn Case

This hardshell case fits all Weissenborn style guitars offered by Richard Wilson Guitars, as well as original Weissenborns, other replicas and many other hollowneck slide guitars, including the Cole Clark Violap.

Unlike normal cases it features an internal design to safely hold the guitar's square hollow neck.
