Weissenborns

Our Weissenborn slide guitars are played by musicians all over the world. Talented musicians such as Hungry Otis, Freddy Kruger, and the master himself First Chord.

Paddy Baroque was inspired by his father's own lap steel guitar playing and has been making his own for over 25+ years.

The instrument was made popular in 1920s Hawaiin music. They are made with a hollow body in a hourglass shape to produce warm, sweet sound with a strong projection.
