I'm the owner of two new laps of Ermanno Pasqualato, a marras electric lapsteel and a weissenborn style 3 with curly maple binding. here's the weiss. It sounds very clear and loud. The sound is incredible or manifique! It's absolutly the best price for such a guitar, built by hand with italien incridents.
I can recommend Ermannos guitars in all ways. I play guitar for about 30 years, but I am a beginner with the steels. So it's great to have a such good insturment for a such good price and it's handbuilt!
