Pedal-Steel Pitch Bending Meets Revolutionary SplitKing Pickup Innovations
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Duesenberg Fairytale SplitKing Edition Lap Steel in a striking two-tone Black & Ivory finish. Engineered for session guitarists, country pickup masters, and ambient sound designers, this special edition lapsteel combines pedal-steel pitch bending capability with Duesenberg’s most advanced pickup technology to date.
Built on a solid, acoustically vibrant Korina body with a full 25.5” scale length, the Fairytale SplitKing yields explosive resonance, tight bass response, and piano-like string clarity. The black anodized aluminum fretboard features high-contrast diamond markers across 24 fret lines, backed by non-slip rubber strips on the body underside to guarantee rock-solid stability during lap or table performances.
The Sanctuary Take: "The Fairytale SplitKing is the ultimate studio secret weapon. The inclusion of Duesenberg's SplitKing pickups solves the age-old problem of coil-splitting volume loss—giving you genuine, biting single-coil twang and thick, roaring humbucker warmth in one instrument. Combined with the built-in Multibender levers and Easy-Shift capo, there is simply no other lapsteel on the market that offers this level of performance versatility."
Innovative Mechanics & Breakthrough Electronics:
Duesenberg SplitKing Pickups: Engineered with two real, independent single coils housed in a single pickup unit. Unlike conventional coil-splits that cut power in half, the SplitKing delivers authentic single-coil snap and full-bodied humbucking output without volume drop.
Duesenberg Multibender Bridge: Palm-operated levers allow you to bend individual strings up or down by a whole tone or half tone mid-phrase—recreating complex pedal-steel chord shifts and minor-to-major voice movements effortlessly.
Integrated Easy-Shift Capo: Glides along a recessed track in the anodized aluminum fretboard. Loosen the knurled top thumb-screw, slide to your desired key, and clamp down in seconds without losing tuning stability or slide positioning.
70° Short-Throw Speed Pot: Specially restricted master tone control with a 70° rotation sweep, designed for rapid, expressive tone swells using quick pinky taps.
