Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed slide playing, the SM-Weissenborn+ pairs a solid mahogany top with laminated mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, rope mahogany/maple binding, traditional inlays, and a brown high-gloss finish. Its setup is central to owning it: the supplied .014–.056w string set supports D and G-based tunings including DADF#AD and DGDGBD. Keep total tension at or below 165 lb. at A440 to avoid bridge, bracing, or neck damage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed slide players using DADF#AD, DGDGBD, or similar lower-tension tuning setups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- E, Dobro G, or similar higher-tension tuning setups.
