THE EVOLUTION OF THE LAPSTEEL
WHEN INTRODUCED BACK IN 2008, THE POMONA6 WAS THE LAPSTEEL THAT BROUGHT OUR MULTIBENDER BRIDGE SYSTEM AND THE INGENIOUS EASY-SHIFT CAPO TO THE WORLD. THE POMONA6 SET A NEW STANDARD FOR LAPSTEEL ARTISTS AROUND THE WORLD.
The integrated “Easy-Shift Capodaster” enables you to adapt to key changes with the turn of a thumb-screw. Simply loosen the screw, place the capodaster where you need it and start playing. It also runs on a rail inside the fretboard so you cannot misplace it. It enables freedom of movement between all keys without sacrificing the typical lapsteel riffs and licks that rely on open strings.
A roller nut provides tuning stability, while Duesenberg LittleToaster pickups deliver a clear and powerful sound that goes excellently well with distortion pedals or distorting amps. And the Duesenberg Speed pot controls work with a path of just 70˚ in order to achieve the lapsteel’s typical swelling “wah” effects.
“The minute I picked up the Duesenberg Lapsteel I was hooked.
This is a lapsteel that is a complete joy to play,
even if you’ve never picked up a slide before.”
John Mayer
