The Alliance Series Paul Franklin Lapsteel is a specially designed signature lapsteel created for one of the most renowned pedal steel and lapsteel players in the world.

This instrument was built to Paul Franklin’s personal specifications and combines classic Duesenberg features with several unique modifications, including the special acrylic fingerboard and the capo-delete design without an integrated capo.

The Multibender is an integrated string bending device that can be configured to do a number of different things.

It is used for bending specific strings up or down a semi- or full tone, all done with the heel of your hand while playing. This comes in handy for changing chords from minor to major or all kinds of other intervals. The Multibender takes up to five levers (additional levers available seperately) which can all be set up to do different things.
