What We Think

The Duesenberg Fairytale Split/King Lap Steel is a striking blend of modern innovation and classic slide tradition. Built with resonant Korina and a maple headstock top, it offers rich sustain and a smooth, expressive feel across its 25.5" scale and sleek black anodized aluminum fingerboard. Dual SplitKing humbuckers provide a wide tonal palette—from warm, singing sustain to sharp, articulate bite—while the Multibender bridge and Easy Shift Capo unlock creative pitch and chordal possibilities rarely found on lap steel. Precision German craftsmanship and refined hardware make this Fairytale a distinctive, investment-worthy instrument built to inspire serious players.

Manufacturer's Description from Duesenberg

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.

About Manufacturer

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.
