This is a masterfully built instrument crafted from exotic tone woods with vintage and modern details. It was originally designed by Bill Asher for Ben Harper in 1998 and inspired by the Weissenborn Hawaiian acoustic lap steel from the 1930's. This lap steel has great low end and high end response, clean or with overdrive - the sustain and acoustic overtone are unbeatable. (guitar specs)
