Description

The mahogany back, sides and neck of the SM+ are beautifully set off by original-style maple/mahogany “rope” bindings and a rich honey brown finish. This instrument plays easily and sounds absolutely great, mellow, lively, warm and has good projection and has sustain for days. The guitar has only slight play wear, and not much of it. This instrument is in very good condition and comes with a hard case.

IMPORTANT—

Because of the Weissenborn guitar’s original-style construction, due care must be taken to use the correct tunings and string gauges in order to avoid bridge, bracing or neck problems. The strings supplied (gauged .014, .018, .026w, .034w, .044w, .056w) allow for G (DGDGBD), D (DADF#AD) and similar tunings. Your Weissenborn will not tolerate the excessive tension exerted by E tuning (EBEG#BE), Dobro G tuning (GBDGBD) or similar tunings.  The total string tension exerted on ANY Gold Tone Weissenborn guitar should be no more than 175 lbs. when tuned to standard (A440) pitch.
