Duesenberg Fairytale Split King Edition Lap Steel in Black and Ivory

Description

Presenting the new Duesenberg Fairytale Lap Steel Split/King Edition in Black and Ivory.
When Duesenberg introduced the Pomona lapsteel in 2008, it was a sensation! For the very first time there was a lapsteel that had the best elements of a lap- and pedalsteel all rolled into one.
The new Fairytale Lapsteel Split/King Edition brings you the evolution of the most advanced Lapsteel available today. The Split/King pickups combine real singlecoil and real humbucker tone into a single pickup.
The best of both worlds, Available with just the flick of a switch….
The Duesenberg Multibender Bridge System is a user-configurable tone bending device for harmoic up- and down-bends. It can take up to five levers that can be used to modulate chords and melodies.
The new Split/King pickups bring you real Humbucker and real Singlecoil tone through a new and innovative coil concept. The best of both worlds at the flick of a switch.
The Split/King is not the splittable pickup you might expect. The innovative coil concept of extending a real singlecoil to a full humbucker with a fine-tuned separate coil enables you to access both pickup sounds with the flick of a switch. The Split/King actually houses a real, full-size singlecoil pickup that can stand on its own compared to your regular split humbucker. This pickup is the pinnacle of Duesenberg’s own component design and delivers a maximum of versatility.
The Integrated Easy-Shift Capodaster makes key changes on a Lapsteel a breeze…Just loosen the thumbscrew on top of the Capo, place it wherever you need it on the fretboard and tighten the screw again. The Easy-Shift Capo runs on a rail inside the fretboard so that losing or misplacing it is impossible.
The Fairytale Split/King comes with Duesenberg’s genuine speed-pot as tone control. This pot operates at a reduced 70° angle allowing you to create tone swells with your fingertip.
Standard factory-set tuning is D A D F# A D.
