Explore the sliding, sustained voice of lap steel with the Mitchell Airstream LS100 Lap Steel Guitar. Its straightforward 6-string format gives guitarists and musical explorers an approachable way to add lap steel to a familiar rig, while the lightweight paulownia body keeps the instrument easy to handle, store and bring into a home, studio or stage setup. A chrome humbucker with coil-tap functionality, 18:1 tuning machines and Space Race-inspired gloss finishes give the LS100 more tonal flexibility than a basic single-voice lap steel.
Humbucker and Coil Tap Offer Two Pickup Voices
A chrome humbucking pickup gives the Airstream LS100 a full amplified voice, while the coil tap provides access to a brighter true single-coil sound. That dual-voice setup lets players move between warmer lap steel textures and more focused single-coil character without changing instruments.
Lightweight Build Keeps the Format Accessible
The paulownia body keeps the guitar compact and manageable, making the LS100 a practical choice for players adding lap steel to an existing guitar collection. Its standard lap steel-style fingerboard includes block-style position markers for clear visual reference while learning bar movement, intonation and alternate tunings.
Player-Friendly Hardware Supports Easy Setup
An adjustable top-load bridge, metal nut and 18:1 tuning machines provide a direct hardware layout for everyday playing and tuning adjustments. Knurled barrel-style control knobs and a side-mounted output jack keep the control area clean and familiar, while Deep Space Metallic, Lunar White and Vapor Blue Metallic finishes give the Airstream LS100 its space-age visual identity. With two pickup voices, lightweight construction and a modern-retro look, the Mitchell Airstream LS100 provides an inviting first step into lap steel.
