The late, incomparable David Lindley owned two of Paddy Burgin's Weissenborns. Need we say more?

Highly figured Tasmanian Blackwood "Burgintwanger" just in!!

Paddy Burgin's innovative guitars expand on the classic Weissenborn hollow-neck design, both figuratively and literally, by increasing the body depth to something more akin to the Kona models also attributed to Weissenborn. As you can imagine, this instrument pushes a lot of air, boasting an expansive, deep voice. The Tasmanian blackwood looks much like koa and exhibits similar sonic traits as well, with a rich, engaging midrange complementing that full, satisfying low end.

We go back a couple decades with Paddy at this point, having discovered his wonderful lap steels some twenty years ago during the Ben Harper-fueled renaissance of interest in acoustic lap steel. Whether you are looking to get into acoustic lap slide or are already a seasoned player, this is one of the most exciting instruments around, and remains an outstanding value in a handmade acoustic slide guitar.
