Presenting the newest addition to Duesenberg's family of Lap Steel guitars, the Alamo.
The Alamo is a solid Korina body dual singlecoil pickup Lapsteel Guitar featuring an integrated Capo and Duesenberg's brilliant Multibender bridge system.
Being the third lapsteel in the Duesenberg catalog, the Alamo seems to be the Wild One! It sports not only the renowned Duesenberg Multibender, which gives you pedal steel-like bends, but also the integrated Easy Shift Capo to change keys on the fly, and a very dynamic duo of Duesenberg Vintage Trouble single coil pickups.
The freely configurable Multibender is operated with the heel of your picking hand. Up to six levers (one per string) are mountable (two come installed from the factory), which allow you to either raise or lower the notes on the individual strings to a preset setting.
The integrated Easy Shift capo enables freedom of movement between all keys without sacrificing the typical lap steel riffs and licks that rely on open strings. A roller nut provides tuning stability and the Duesenberg Vintage Trouble single coil pickups deliver great tone with a rough and wild timbre, combined with a fast attack and rich overtones that only single coil pickups can deliver. The Duesenberg Speed pot controls work with a path of just 70˚ in order to achieve the lapsteel’s typical swelling “wah” effects.
The Alamo is available in a cool Ivory finish.
