Model I with figured tonewoods

Model I featuring highly figured Tasmanian Blackwood for top/back/sides and vintage-style Tasmanian Blackwood fretboard

Unlike the standard Model I I sell, this guitar features a few unique elements. Instead of the standard plain (figure-less) Tasmanian Blackwood body, this guitar features brilliantly figured top/back/sides. Instead of the standard Ebony fretboard, this guitar features a matching figured Tasmanian Blackwood bridge featuring Maple fret markets, similar to the Koa fretboards seen on original Weissenborns. Capped off with stunning Abalone inlay, this guitar makes the most of the natural bindingless appearance of the Model I, with the brilliant tone and exceptional sustain you can expect from a Weissenborn style guitar.

  • Highly Figured Tasmanian Blackwood top/back/sides
  • Solid maple soundhole rings.
  • Grover Rotomatic tuners (nickel)
  • Tasmanian Blackwood 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.


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