Style 4+

     Our SM and LM Weissenborns in the last 6 years have "revived" the hollow neck instrument as musicians have been able to discover a wonderful, affordable slide tone. Although the SM and LM are close copies of the originals, our new Style 4 may be the most authentic replica ever made in production.
     Richard Barnes, renowned luthier from Claremont, California, is a leading authority on the construction and repair for all models of vintage Weissenborns. Barnes has teamed with our designers, and our new Style 4 is the result of his research on every possible specification. Since the native Hawaian wood Koa is in severe depletion, the "4" is constructed with it closest cousin, the Australian Blackwood. The grain, appearance and tone are remarkably similar.
