Asher Ben Harper Series II
Limited Edition Lap Steel Guitar
Product Description
The first Asher Limited Edition Ben Harper Model lap steel, which debuted in 1998, has since been coveted and sought after by musicians and collectors alike. Its increase in value over the years has proven its merit as a musically dynamic, innovative, and masterfully crafted instrument - the Ben Harper Signature model is expected to draw the same accolades, only with a new spin on sound, style and tone. | ||
|
Asher and Harper have teamed up once again to create an amazing modern-day lap steel drawing on inspiration from the classic '59 Gibson Les Paul. The Harper Series II Limited Edition will feature a flame maple top with cherry sunburst finish in nitro cellulose lacquer, a pair of Seymour Duncan Custom Shop '59-Style Humbuckers, T.O.M. bridge and tail-piece by Tone Pros. Production will be limited to only 100 instruments, each bearing signature logos of both Ben Harper and Bill Asher. The model will also come with a special signed limited edition certificate of authenticity. |
