Gold Tone isn’t just the company’s name, it’s exactly what you get with the LS-8 Lap Steel Guitar from Sweetwater!Faithful to a legend Gold Tone builders developed the LS-8 Lap Steel Guitar by combing through history and choosing a point of reference: the Oahu Tonemaster, one of the most revered lap steel guitars ever produced. Excluding additional strings, the LS-8 is so faithful to this legend that owners of vintage Oahus often turn to Gold Tone’s LS-8 hardware and pickups for restoration parts. Each LS-8 receives a full Gold Tone setup and ships optimized for symmetrical DFACDFAC tuning. However, the LS-8 also accommodates an endless variety of tunings. Simply swap the included strings for the appropriate gauge, then tune to taste. The discrete onboard pickup is faithful to golden-age lap steel pickups with a single-coil soapbar design still favored today. Get ready to bask in the soapbar pickup’s responsive sound capable of mellow warble, prickly leads, and countless in-betweens.Zero Glide: patented precision lets lap steels sing Gold Tone’s Zero Glide nut is a tiny piece of hardware that enhances instrument performance drastically. The patented design pairs a sustain-boosting bone nut with a hard nickel-silver “zero fret” for enhanced reliability and sound. Zero Glide nuts grace the headstocks of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, and even ukuleles. The benefits are clearly universal! Zero Glide’s precision-cut string slots further reduce string contact by a staggering 93% at the nut — meaning fewer tuning breaks and better resonance, especially when playing gets aggressive. Zero Glide also narrows sonic differences between fretted- and open-string notes while solving common intonation issues for innovative accuracy without compromising character. When it comes to lap steel sound, players expect sparkling clarity without compromise, and the LS-8’s Zero Glide nut more than delivers.Gold Tone LS-8 8-string Lap Steel Guitar Features: An extended-range 8-string lap steel at a phenomenal price Based on a legendary vintage model to faithfully re-create familiar sounds High-performance tonewoods and hardware deliver quality tone and durability fit for beginners and pros alike Solid mahogany body resonates with full-bodied tone and assertive midrange for sonic visibility in any setting Maple neck fuels exceptional player comfort and impressive dynamic response Smooth 25-inch scale rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets Durable chrome-plated K-style tuners provide fierce tuning stability and classic looks Vintage-style soapbar pickup delivers clear, articulate, amplified tone Custom bone Zero Glide nut ensures an exceptional string feel and bold musicality Receives a full setup at Gold Tone’s Florida facility for quality assurance SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 8 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape LS-8 Body Material Mahogany Body Finish High Gloss Color 2-tone Tobacco Sunburst Neck Material Maple Neck Shape Square Neck Joint Set Neck Radius Flat Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25" Nut Width 2.375" Nut Material ZeroGlide Tuners Kluson-style Bridge Pickup Magnetic Soapbar Single-coil Strings Gold Tone 8-string, .012, .016p, .024w, .030, .035, .042, .052, .070 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
