Twisted Original
Drawing its inspiration from the original 1920’s Weissenborn, this series strives to reimagine the classic instrument with some modern innovation. With a specially designed bridge plate and bracing to ensure optimal projection, and a genuine bone nut and saddle to improve sustain, the Twisted Original is sure to impress in any context. This series features traditional Hawaiian style rope bindings, juxtaposing a vibrant elegance against the classic Mahogany body. Available in laminate, solid top and all solid models- each Twisted original Weissenborn is fitted with high quality D’addario strings, and can be upgraded with an optional 4 channel EQ.

- Grover style tuners for precision tuning
- Bone nut and saddle for sustain and tone
- Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
- Hawaiian Rope Binding
- D’Addario® strings standard for tone and reliability

Hey Guys & Gals,
It’s always been my dream to own a Weissenborn… Now that dream is a reality.
Thank you for the beautiful instrument and for your top notch customer service.

Well guys, I was waiting for pictures, and I received the real thing !
Well packed, no trouble (thank you for the sensible recuperation of a Martin box).
Tuned the beast in open D, and here we go.
I never played a weissenborn before, but knew what I wanted to hear : I have it. In spades.
I just compose my first (easy) piece. Just I have to play it correctly, but the instrument brings inspiration.
Thank you
Very very much
And it is beautiful, too. (and big, oh my !)
Will put a Seymour Duncan magnetic PU on it tomorrow (I’m a certified mag PU freak)
