The Alamo is a solid Korina body dual singlecoil pickup Lapsteel Guitar featuring an integrated capodaster and our brilliant Multibender bridge system.
Being the third lapsteel in the Duesenberg catalog, the Alamo seems to be the Wild One! It sports not only the reknowned Duesenberg Multibender, which gives you pedalsteel like bendings, but also the integrated Easy Shift capodaster and a very dynamic duo of Duesenberg Vintage Trouble singlecoil pickups.
The freely configurable Multibender is operated with the heel of the picking hand. Up to six levers (one per string) are mountable, which allow you to either raise or lower the notes on the individual strings to a preset setting.
Furthermore the integrated Easy Shift capo enables freedom of movement between all keys without sacrificing the typical lapsteel riffs and licks that rely on open strings.
A roller nut provides tuning stability and the Duesenberg Vintage Trouble singlecoil pickups deliver great tone with a rough and wild timbre, combined with a fast attack and rich overtones that only singlecoil pickups can deliver. The Duesenberg Speed pot controls work with a path of just 70˚ in order to achieve the lapsteel’s typical swelling “wah” effects.
The Alamo is available in a cool Ivory finish.
We would be happy to make yours.
Duesenberg Guitars exploded on the scene a few years ago and have been turning heads ever since. These days everyone is playing a Duesey, from Mike Campbell to Bob Dylan to Ronnie Wood. The build quality and price-point are hard to argue with. Here at Sound Pure we always have a healthy stock of Duesenbergs and are happy to special order if our inventory does not suit your needs.
In a unique way Dieter Goelsdorf's Duesenberg design consolidates guitar construction, features and sounds which have written music history. The art deco style design of headstock, pickguard and metal components gives Duesenberg its own eye-catching look, while the body design bases on the old traditional Jazz guitars like being built from the 40s in Europe and in the USA. These design elements are combined with the best possible electric guitar construction values of the 50s: Grand Vintage Alnico pickups, classical Fender scale length plus a Gibson-like fingerboard radius. Most of the vintage-style tailpieces, bridges, tremolos, pickups and controls come with greatly improved details. The light weight plus comfortable position of controls of these stage and studio guitars provide a distinctive playing performance and handling for the most demanding player.
