Product information

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

A TME-first, flamed maple "Burgintwanger!"

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.

This is the first maple-bodied Weissenborn we have had from Paddy—it is equal parts visual beauty and sonic beast. We love the abalone decorative details, colorful accents on a very clean, elegant, otherwise wood-forward design. The maple has great low-mid punch with a clear, articulate midrange, smooth top end, and substantial sustain on tap. Just a wonderful, potent voice for all manner of acoustic lap slide playing.

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.
