A Modern Lapsteel Designed as a Signature Model in the Range
In the world of lapsteels, the Fairytale has established itself as a sought-after instrument thanks to a decidedly innovative approach: an integrated capo nut and especially the Multibender, designed to achieve precise inflections without leaving the "flat" playing style. This philosophy places the Fairytale at the top of the range for musicians who want to experience very "guitar-like" playing sensations while exploring the unique possibilities of the lapsteel.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Duesenberg Fairytale is aimed at guitarists curious about lapsteel as well as specialists seeking an expressive and versatile instrument. It excels in country, blues, atmospheric rock, Americana, textured pop, and cinematic music-anywhere sustain, slides, and moving chords are front and center. The Multibender adds a very modern dimension: perfect for shifting from minor to major tonalities or creating harmonic tensions without changing tuning.
Sound
This lapsteel is based on a wood and electronics combination oriented towards both definition and musicality. The GrandVintage Humbucker pickup at the bridge delivers a sharp attack, solid lows, and great stability on saturated sounds while maintaining clarity for pick playing. At the neck, the SingleTwin Domino (P90 type) favors warmth, grain, and presence, ideal for singing melodies and softer textures. The simple and effective wiring (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-way selector) facilitates character changes, and the "Speed-Pot" tone control allows quick transitions, like a timbre "swell," very inspiring on a lapsteel.
