Be the coolest kid on the block with the Deco vibes of the Fairytale Lapsteel from Duesenberg. The only way to describe the feel of a Duesenberg guitar is SOLID. Everything feels like a handcrafted German automobile and it works with the precision you would expect.
The new Fairytale Lapsteel Split/King Edition brings you the evolution of the most advanced Lapsteel available today. The Split/King pickups combine real single coil and real humbucker tone into a single pickup. The best of both worlds. Available with just the flick of a switch.
FEATURE
MULTIBENDER
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.
SPLIT/KING PICKUPS
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.
SPEED POT
The Fairytale Split/King comes with our genuine speed-pot as tone control. This pot operates at a reduced 70° angle allowing you to create tone swells with your fingertip.
THE NEW
SPLIT/KING PICKUP
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 seperate 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 our own component design and delivers maximum versatility.
IT'S NOT JUST TWO PICKUPS - IT'S ACTUALLY FOUR.
INTEGRATED CAPODASTER
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 MULTIBENDER
THE MULTIBENDER IS AN INTEGRATED STRING-BENDING DEVICE THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED TO DO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
It is used for bending specific strings up or down a semi- or full tone, all done with the heel of your hand while playing. This comes in handy for changing chords from minor to major or all kinds of other intervals. The Multibender takes up to five levers (additional levers available separately) which can all be set up to do different things.
