Gold Tone SM Weissenborn Style Hawaiian Steel Guitar (Mahogany) Review

Gold Tone SM Weissenborn Style Hawaiian Steel Guitar (Mahogany) Feature

• Solid mahogany top, back, and sides
• The original Weissenborn hollow neck design
• A beautiful gloss finish

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! What an amazing instrument!” says Greg Leisz. "Engineers flip out every time." The Gold Tone SM features a solid mahogany top, back, and sides, gold plated square covered style tuners, the original Weissenborn hollow neck design, maple inlaid fret markers, rope style binding, and a beautiful gloss finish.
