Duesenberg Fairytale Lapsteel - Goldburst

Pedal-Steel Pitch Bending Meets Boutique German Engineering

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Duesenberg Fairytale Lapsteel in a stunning Goldburst finish. Designed for slide masters, country session guitarists, and ambient tone explorers, the Fairytale redefines what a 6-string lapsteel can achieve—delivering authentic pedal-steel-style pitch bends and instant key shifts in a compact, rock-solid instrument.

Crafted with a solid Korina body and a full 25.5” scale length, the Fairytale yields exceptional string tension, low-end punch, and acoustic sustain. The black anodized aluminum fretboard features high-contrast diamond markers across 24 fret lines, paired with dual non-slip rubber backing strips on the rear body to keep the instrument firmly anchored on your lap or table during performance.

The Sanctuary Take: "The Duesenberg Fairytale is hands-down one of the most innovative lapsteels ever built. The combination of the Multibender palm levers and the integrated track-guided capo means you can change keys and bend whole tones mid-phrase without touching a tuning peg or losing your slide positioning. It is an indispensable secret weapon for studio session players and touring musicians alike."

Innovative Mechanics & Onboard Electronics:

• Duesenberg Multibender Bridge: Palm-operated levers allow you to bend individual strings up or down by a whole tone or half tone on the fly—effortlessly recreating pedal-steel chord movements and minor-to-major voice transitions.
• Integrated Easy-Shift Capo: Runs along a recessed track in the anodized aluminum fretboard. Simply loosen the knurled top thumb-screw, slide to your desired fret, and lock it down in seconds without detuning or losing your capo.
• Versatile Pickup Configuration: Features a noise-free Duesenberg SingleTwin Domino (P90-style) in the neck for fat, warm cleans, paired with a GrandVintage Humbucker in the bridge for biting lead cut and harmonics.
• 70° Short-Throw Speed Pot: Specially engineered master tone control with a restricted 70° rotation range, allowing fast, expressive tone swells with simple pinky taps.

• Best For: Country, Americana, Blues, Hawaiian, Western Swing, Studio Session Work

• Tone Profile: Punchy, Articulate, Bell-Like Clarity, Noise-Free Warmth, Creamy Lead Sustain

• Compared To: Duesenberg Alliance Paul Franklin Lapsteel, Asher ElectraSonic, Gold Tone LS-6

• Key Entity Anchors: Duesenberg Multibender, Easy-Shift Sliding Capo, 70° Short-Throw Speed Pot, Black Anodized Aluminum Fretboard, Korina Body

• Sanctuary Expert Note: "The Fairytale bridges the gap between traditional lapsteel and full pedal steel in a sleek, highly playable package. The 25.5" scale gives it massive acoustic resonance, and the Multibender levers open up pedal-steel chord voicing shifts that normally require complex foot pedals."
