The new Fairytale Lapsteel Split/King Edition brings you the evolution of the most advanced Lapsteel available today. The Split/King pickups combine real singlecoil and real humbucker tone into a single pickup. The best of both worlds. Available with just the flick of a switch.
The Gretsch® Electromatic Lap Steel produces the unmistakably rich tones of an electric Hawaiian guitar. Sleek and smooth, it features a solid mahogany slab body, chrome-covered single-coil pickup, chrome-plated strings-thru-body bridge, silver plastic deco control plate and variously shaped fingerboard position markers (circle, triangle, square, diamond).
