The Gold Tone LS-8 captures the spirit of the classic lap steel guitars that helped define country, Hawaiian, western swing, and early blues recordings. Inspired by the legendary Oahu Tonemaster instruments of the 1950s, the LS-8 delivers that unmistakable singing sustain and vocal-like expression that lap steel players have cherished for decades. Finished in a beautiful Tobacco Sunburst, it combines vintage character with modern reliability, making it equally appealing to seasoned slide players and musicians looking to explore a new sonic landscape.
Built with a mahogany body and paired with a maple neck, the LS-8 produces a warm, resonant voice with impressive clarity and note separation. The magnetic soapbar single-coil pickup captures every nuance of your playing, from smooth, mellow melodies to bright, cutting leads that soar above the mix. Whether you’re chasing traditional Hawaiian sounds, classic country steel tones, or atmospheric textures for modern recordings, the simple volume and tone controls make it easy to shape your voice while preserving the instrument’s natural character.
Designed for comfort and performance, the LS-8 arrives set up in F6 tuning and features a smooth-playing 25-inch scale, rosewood fingerboard, and vintage-inspired hardware that stays true to the golden age of lap steel design. The result is an instrument that feels authentic, responsive, and inspiring every time you sit down to play. The Gold Tone LS-8 is a beautifully crafted lap steel that delivers timeless tone, effortless sustain, and a direct connection to one of America’s most expressive musical traditions. Available at Haggerty’s Music.
