The Maton Console Double-Neck Lapsteel is a rare, vintage lap steel guitar made by the Australian company Maton, predating the Silvertone series. This model features two necks, typically tuned differently (often one in standard and one in an alternate tuning), offering versatility for players who switch tunings mid-performance. Known for its distinctive blue finish and unique retro design, the instrument embodies classic lap steel tones with a warm, resonant quality that is ideal for blues, country, and Hawaiian styles. With its historical value and exceptional craftsmanship, the Maton Console Double-Neck is highly sought after by collectors and players who appreciate vintage lap steel guitars.
