Offered for sale is an Iseman Style 2 Hawaiian lap steel, handcrafted by Mark Iseman.

Built in the traditional Weissenborn style, the Style 2 features a fully hollow body and neck, producing the open, rich, sustaining voice that has made these instruments so sought after. The Style 2 adds a number of tasteful appointments over the simpler Style 1 while retaining the same tonal philosophy. Rosewood binding adorns the top, back and headstock, complemented by a matching rosewood tailstrip. A maple, rosewood and bloodwood rope rosette, paua abalone position markers, Grover Sta-Tite open-gear tuners, and a traditional shellac and oil finish complete the instrument.

Specifications:

• Traditional hollow-neck Weissenborn-style construction
• 25" scale length
• 37.5" overall length
• 15.5" lower bout
• 3.25" body depth
• 2" nut width
• Rosewood binding on the top, back and headstock
• Rosewood tailstrip
• Maple, rosewood and bloodwood rope rosette
• Paua abalone position markers
• Grover Sta-Tite open-gear tuners
• Traditional shellac and oil finish

I own a fairly large guitar collection that is kept in a humidity-controlled environment. Sadly, some instruments get little to no playing time, and this Iseman is one of them.

Condition is near mint.

If you've been considering a handcrafted Weissenborn-style lap steel without the wait for a new build, this is an excellent opportunity.

I'm also offering what is believed to be the first, and likely the only, Joe Yanuziello Electric Hawaiian King lap steel in a separate Reverb listing https://reverb.com/item/99026019-yanuziello-electric-hawaiian-king-lap-steel-2013-cream.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
