Sound Pure's Take
Veteran and amatuer lapsteel artist alike love the fairytale! With a carefully considered design choices and modern additions, this might be the most enjoyable lap steel that's come through our doors!
From Duesenberg Guitars
The new 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 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.
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.
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 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.
