A Kalico Lapsteel Designed for Modern Lap Steels
The Kalico Lapsteel is presented as the latest addition to the Duesenberg lap steel range. It features a classic silhouette while integrating very current solutions, designed for musicians who want a lap steel ready for stage and studio, without compromising on versatility and playing control.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This lap steel is aimed at musicians seeking an expressive and quick-to-use instrument: stage guitarists, slide players, lovers of texture and sustain. It is particularly comfortable in country, americana, blues, hawaiian genres, but also in ambient and cinematic approaches where precise slides, sustained notes, and controlled pitch variations are appreciated.
The Sound
At the heart of the Kalico Lapsteel, the Split/King Duo-Coil pickup offers a rich and usable sonic foundation, with three tonal colors accessible via the 3-position mini toggle switch. This configuration allows for sharper, more defined attacks to thicker responses, ideal for bringing a lap steel line to the forefront. The flamed maple top contributes to the percussive character and clarity of the whole, while Duesenberg's playing-oriented solutions, such as the Multibender, invite precise and musical inflections, perfect for enriching phrasing without losing intonation stability.
