The Duesenberg is the Rolls Royce of lap steels . In price as well as quality . The Benders as a component cost more by themselves than a medium priced Lap Steel . Disregarding the Bender unit , a Lap Steel is a pretty basic thing . Essentially a slab of wood with an electric pickup . As long as the tuners stay tuned , and the pickup gives signal , they're 98% the same . ( Yeah , yeah , different pickups give different tones , but that's preference ,not better vs worse ) . They DO come in various different scale lengths . The sort of almost quasi typical is 22.5 inch , but can vary from 20.5 inch to 25 inch ( someone add metric translation if inclined ) . What's the difference ? Dobro players will gravitate to 25 inch , simply because that's what they're used to . The probably best known Player today , who plays Lap Steel as their primary instrument , Megan Lovell of the Blues/ Roots duo Larkin Poe , plays 25 inch for that reason . If you're not already a Lap Style player , the rule of thumb is longer makes precise intonation while playing easier , shorter makes radical bar slants easier .

Here's an amazing and topical bit of guitar trivia. Freddie Tavarez, who played the lap steel intro to the Looney Tunes theme, was one of Leo Fender's right hand men and actually helped design the Strat body shape and persuaded Leo to ditch his initial trem design (ala Jazzmaster) and came up with the tremolo system that's been on Strat's since day one!

Duesenberg lap steels are great sounding instruments. Love the fact they can provide some pedal steel style bends. They sound especially good when played by the likes of Luke Cyrus Goetze. He's a monster player. Fingerpicks definitely give you a more traditional tone but not mandatory.

@MrPatdeeee 2 жыл бұрын

I believe; Luke is THE greatest "bender" Steel Guitar player there is. Of Course Martin Huch is awesome too. But Luke takes the first seat IMHO. I could listen to him play all day. See and listen to both below. Sorry to say that this video's player does nothing to me. And this quote* says it all: It's like a little boy in the back yard; shooting a 22 rifle in the air. He ain't hitting nothin; He is JUST shootin!. * Mac Atcheson (an "Extraordinaire" Pedal Steel Player; who has passed on and a dear friend) said that yrs ago, talking about SG "Jamming". I agreed 100%. For It is nothing but picking. But it doesn't say anything "musical"; just picking the guitar all night to "drunks". Sad, but very true. OH well.

Nice review! And btw, having the long bridge adjustment screws allows you to move the bridge further back than usual - for proper intonation - if you decide to venture into lower tunings like open-C and a lot fatter strings on a standard scale guitar. Having just recently bought longer after market screws for a different guitar for that reason I can imagine that to be one reason for them too - in particular with the baritone pedigree that Duesenberg have.

Was attending a Blue Rodeo concert (Canadians will know that band, and perhaps others) at Massey Hall in Toronto, when right after the song ended, Jim Cuddy was visited by crew on stage, and then he informed us that Jeff Healey had passed on. Stunned silence! Jeff Healey was, and still is, an icon in Toronto/Canada. And if I'm not mistaken, Blue Rodeo launched into Angel Eyes. Amazing!

I’d reckon that Rob’s caused the most change in Lee’s playing overall, but Pete’s playing being closer to Lee genre-wise has definitely helped. Either way, more ear candy for us!

The benders really nudge it into pedal steel territory. A pedal steel guitar is not only very expensive, they're time-consuming to setup, and the learning curve is quite steep. With all the different parts and assembly, maintenance can be an issue, whereas this lap steel has a bit gentler learning curve and travels and sets up much easier. Get a volume pedal and you'll get even closer, as volume swells are a big part of the sound, though the "speed knob' seems to kind of do that already. Thanks for the demo!

Had one of those Pomonas when they came out 10 years ago, they were basically 50% less expensive back then. That was my 2nd attempt at lap steel. My first attempt, I had a Fender Champ Lap Steel from the 50s. And now, I'm back at it.... The only thing I changed now, I tune it to C6, so I have major and minor chords without slanting the bar. Was the best decision! No open tunings for me anymore. But Someone will build me an 8 string Lap à la Fender Stringmaster, and it will still be 50% less than those Düsies.
