Gold Tone SM Weissenborn Style Hawaiian Steel Guitar (Mahogany)
The Weissenborn Hawaiian steel, a platapus among guitars to the uninitiated, is an instrument brilliantly and specifically conceived for Hawaiian playing. These hollow-neck Hawaiians are enjoying a renaissance with players nearly 60 years after the last one was made. Many session pros now routinely carry along a Weissenborn for steel or Dobro calls. “Whenever you take one of these things into the studio, people always say, ‘Wow!
