Richard Wilson Weissenborn Type 1 (Pre-owned) 2021 - Tasmanian Blackwood

Richard Wilson Type 1 Weissenborn (2021) – Tasmanian Blackwood – Excellent Condition

This Richard Wilson Type 1 Weissenborn 2021 — also searched as RW Style 1 Weissenborn, Richard Wilson lap steel, or Tasmanian Blackwood Weissenborn — is a handcrafted boutique instrument built by renowned luthier Richard Wilson.

Constructed entirely from highly figured Tasmanian Blackwood (top, back, and sides), this RW #2113-302 Style 1 delivers a rich, warm, and highly resonant tone with strong overtones and excellent sustain, characteristic of high-end Weissenborn-style guitars. These instruments are individually voiced and built with precision craftsmanship, making each one unique.  

The lightweight hollow-neck design provides a smooth, responsive feel ideal for slide playing, while the tonal character sits between koa warmth and a slightly clearer, more articulate response typical of blackwood builds.

Fitted with Tasmanian Blackwood fingerboard, West African ebony bridge, and vintage-style Waverley open-gear tuners, this guitar combines traditional aesthetics with premium materials.

This Richard Wilson Weissenborn (2021) is in excellent condition, well cared for with no structural issues.

Includes hardshell case and slide steel.
