Duesenberg - Alliance Series - Lap Steel - Paul Franklin Red

Paul Franklin is one of the most famous Pedal - and Lapsteel players on the planet and has collected 30 CMA nominations to date.

With this custom Lapsteel, we have made an instrument tailored to his specific needs but made for everyone.
Aside from the transparent red paint job, this Lapsteel 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
