Gold ToneSM-Weissenborn+ Hawaiian-Style Slide Guitar Solid Mahogany Top
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s SM-Weissenborn+ is a Hawaiian-style slide guitar with a solid mahogany top, mahogany back, sides and neck, rope-style maple/mahogany binding, traditional inlays, and a honey-brown high-gloss finish. Its setup demands attention: the supplied .014–.056w string set supports D, G, and related tunings, while total tension at A440 must remain at or below 165 lb. A case is included for carrying the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Slide-guitar setups using D, G, or related tunings within the stated string-tension limit.
- Players prepared to select string gauges carefully for their chosen tuning.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- E or Dobro G tuning setups, which are specifically discouraged because of their higher tension.
- Any string-and-tuning combination exceeding 165 lb. of total tension at A440 pitch.
