Presenting the new Duesenberg Alliance Series Paul Franklin Signature Lapsteel in Transparent Red and White.
Paul Franklin is one of the most famous Pedalsteel and Lapsteel players on the planet, and has collected 30 CMA nominations to date.
With this custom signature Lapsteel, Duesenberg has made an instrument tailored to his specific needs, but made for everyone.
Aside from the transparent red paint job, it features an acrylic, back-printed fretboard and a specially requested Capo-delete.
"It looks amazing, plays effortlessly, and it records like a dream! I have never been able to capture that tone as good before. God knows I’ve tried." - Paul Franklin
Key features of this new Signature model include:
The Duesenberg Multibender
The Multibender is an integrated string bending device that can be configured to do a number of different things. It is used for bending specific strings up or down a semi- or full tone, all done with the heel of your hand while playing. This comes in handy for changing chords from minor to major or all kinds of other intervals. The Multibender takes up to five levers (additional levers available seperately) which can all be set up to do different things.
