Recording King’s affordably-priced Humbucker Lap Steel promises “cranked-up lead tones and soaring clean lines”
Tackle everything from gospel and country to blues and, er, AC/DC
Recording King has introduced the Humbucker Lap Steel guitar, sporting a solid mahogany body with a string-through design and a 23.5-inch scale.
Other features include a pearloid fretboard, bone nut and metal button tuners.
The single humbucker, meanwhile, is designed to “take your tone from clean to crunch” – for proof, check out the accompanying video, which includes an impressive AC/DC jam – and is adjusted via single volume and tone controls.
The Humbucker Lap Steel comes in a traditional sunburst finish and is offered for $229.99.
