2015 Dart Mahogany 8-String Weissenborn-style Lap Steel Guitar - Luthier Post

[DartInstruments]

This unique 8-string Weissenborn-style lap steel guitar is perfect for the steel player looking for that unplugged sound and portability. Understated yet elegant, this all-mahogany “Weissenheimer” rings with incredible clarity & sustain and is incredibly lightweight. It’s currently tuned to C6 but can be easily re-strung to the gauge and tuning of your liking prior to shipping.

$4500 - includes a custom-made hard-shell case with a blue crushed-velvet interior. Please contact for a shipping estimate.
