Product Description
The new Duesenberg 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 new Split/King Pickup 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 Duesenberg's own component design and delivers a maximum of versatility. It's not just two pickups - it's actually four.
The Fairytale Lapsteel is one of the most desired instruments for lapsteel artists around the world.
Its innovation on countless aspects from the integrated capo nut down to the versatile Multibender bridge system leaves this lapsteel without competition.
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 seperately) which can all be set up to do different things.
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.
Know Your Tone
The Fairytale comes fitted wth one of Duesenberg's hum-cancelleing singletwin Domino P90 in the neck position and Duesenberg's versatile and classically voiced GrandVintage Humbucker in the bridge position.
Witth the Domino delivering a warm and fat tone and the GrandVintage taking care of the cutting leads you are well set for everything that might come your way.
For easy to do tone swells, Duesenberg have also fitted the Fairytale with their special short range speed pot that works on a 70° angle.
Nickel Hardware
You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on Duesenberg’s instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack.
When compared to regular chrome finishes, nickel has a beautiful warm and elegant sheen and ages naturally over time. It's the way things were done before chrome became the standard. If you don't want the hardware on your instrument to age, Duesenberg recommend regular cleaning.
Made to hold something that lasts. A good case is one that’s more sturdy than what’s inside.
Handsome, laid-back and simply a good place for your instrument. Meet the Duesenberg Custom Line Cases. True flightcase quality, classically shaped, beautifully handcrafted and made to endure the most realistic and unrealistic abuses. It's a case you can just throw in the back of a car, train or airplane and won't have to worry about.
This instrument comes including the Duesenberg Custom Line Case as standard.
