2003 Cole Clark Violap Horseshoe lap steel guitar.

The Cole Clark Violap features a Weissenborn – style body with square neck. 

Made primarily from Tasmanian Blackwood with carved top and back and carved bracing.

and a rosewood fingerboard. 

Grover Roto-Matic tuners are used at the headstock, with a Tusq nut and Bakelite saddle. A chrome tailpiece behind the bridge anchors the strings.

The Horseshoe pickup uses a fairly large single coil with six polepieces, and is surrounded by the wrap-around ‘horseshoe’ magnet. Volume and tone controls are on the top, and the output jack is found at the tail block.

This Violap features a horseshoe type pickup, so-called because the pickup magnet wraps around the coil (rather than being embedded in the coil). This unique pickup design dates back to early electric Rickenbacker instruments – from the 1930’s – but this history has presented opportuntities for potential infringement. Consequently, current Cole Clark instruments use humbucking and piezo pickups.

Item will be well bubble wrapped boxed and insured.
