I am selling a rare Wiessenborn style one guitar, Weissenborn is a brand of lap slide guitar manufactured by Herman Weissenborn in Los Angeles in the 1920's and 1930,s. This one is circa 1926.These instruments are now highly sought after, and form the base for most non-resonator lap steel guitars currently produced. It is estimated that fewer than 5,000 original instruments were produced, and it is unknown how many now survive. The signature feature of Weisseborn guitars is the hollow neck, effectively a highly adapted body chamber that runs the entire length of the body. This excellent example of a true classic comes in a soft Stag carry case. The little rest at the bottom is missing ( see photos ) And there are a few scuffs and dings ( see photos) only to be expected for an instrument of this age.
