Gold Tone LS-8: 8-String Lap Steel Guitar
The Gold Tone LS-8 is a masterful re-creation of the iconic 1950s Oahu Tonemaster lap steel, offering the same vintage tone and timeless aesthetic that made the original legendary. Designed with precision and care, this 8-string model captures the nostalgic charm of mid-century lap steels while enhancing playability and tone for today’s musicians. Its solid mahogany body and top provide a rich, resonant base, while the two-tone tobacco sunburst finish adds classic visual appeal worthy of any stage or studio.
Sonically, the LS-8 delivers a full-bodied tone with shimmering highs and balanced low-end clarity. The single-coil soapbar pickup brings warmth, punch, and vintage-style articulation, ideal for Hawaiian melodies, Western swing, blues, or jazz-inspired slide playing. Its 25" scale length and Zero Glide nut ensure smooth playability, stable tuning, and a silky sustain that resonates beautifully under steel bar slides. Whether plugged in or played acoustically, the LS-8 maintains an expressive, dynamic voice that grows richer with every performance.
Perfect for lap steel players, slide enthusiasts, or guitarists exploring new tonal landscapes, the Gold Tone LS-8 combines tradition and innovation in one elegant instrument. With its extended 8-string range and modern reliability, it offers professional-grade tone and playability right out of the case.
Each instrument is professionally set up by Gold Tone for ideal string height, tonal balance, and precision across all frets.
