Asher Guitars / THE ACOUSTIC HAWAIIAN LAP STEEL / Guitar For Sale
|
The Asher Acoustic Hawaiian lap steel guitar pays tribute to the Herman Weissenborn lap steels from the late 1920's. In honor of these fine instruments, and to continue the tradition, I have made the finest reproduction possible with the same unique acoustic qualities and distinctive woody tones as its predecessor. From hand-picked koa to the vintage rope binding on our Style IV, the Asher equivalent boasts the same master craftsmanship and sound that will not only perform beyond expectations, but also last a lifetime.

Hello...and welcome to the Asher Guitars & Lap Steels here on VintageandRare.com! I'm Bill Asher and I'm glad you're here!
It was back in my high school wood shop class where I made my very first guitar body, a copy of my Fender Stratocaster¨. It wasn't all that bad--it even landed me my first apprenticeship in the business. So as you can see, I've come a long way since then. And now that I've been in the business of vintage guitar repair, restoration and custom building for over two decades, I still love what I do! How cool is that?
Now, with Asher Guitars & Lap Steels, I am finally dedicating my work to building and designing the highest quality--and coolest looking--electric guitars and lap steels out there. Enjoy!
-Bill Asher
