Duesenberg Slide Bar for Lap Steel

The Duesenberg Slide Bar is the original steel that Duesenberg supplies for its lap steels. It is a solid bar made from heavy brass with a solid nickel plating, held with the thumb, index and middle finger and drawn across the strings of a lap steel or pedal steel guitar.

Features

• Solid heavy brass bar with solid nickel plating
• Grippy shape held with thumb, index and middle finger
• Made for lap steel and pedal steel guitars, including the Duesenberg Fairytale, Kalico and Alliance Series Paul Franklin
• The weight of the brass gives a clear, sustaining response on the strings

In Use

A heavy bar keeps steady pressure on the strings without the player pushing down, so notes ring longer and slants stay clean. The nickel plating gives a smooth surface that glides over nickel wound strings, and the bar shape stays in the hand for hammer-ons and pull-offs behind the bar. Duesenberg calls it a must for every slide player, and it is the bar to pair with the Multibender-equipped Fairytale.
