Alliance Series

Paul Franklin

Pickups

The GrandVintage Humbucker in the bridge position delivers a cutting and balanced tone while the hum-cancelling SingleTwin P90 in the neck position is perfectly suited for smooth and warm melodies.

Multibender

The Duesenberg Multibender Bridge System is a user-configurable tone bending device for harmoic up- and down-bends. It can take up to five levers that can be used to modulate chords and melodies.

Speed-Pot

The Fairytale comes with our genuine speed-pot as tone control. This pot operates at a reduced 70° angle allowing you to create tone swells with your fingertip.

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.

The Multibender

The Multibender is an integrated string bending device that can be configured to do a number of different things.

It is used for bending specific strings up or down a semi- or full tone, all done with the heel of your hand while playing. This comes in handy for changing chords from minor to major or all kinds of other intervals. The Multibender takes up to five levers (additional levers available seperately) which can all be set up to do different things.
