It's the Rosewood and Spruce version of their Royal Hawaiian Limited Edition called the Rosewood XL. The Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL starts with the same features as Imperial's Limited Edition: • Extra deep body and hollow neck for increased volume and resonance • "Rope" binding on the top, back and fingerboard • Rosewood bridge and fingerboard with maple markings • High quality die-cast tuners • Fishman Presys+ pickup system But instead of using the traditional Mahogany or Koa, they've built this model with a solid Spruce top and Rosewood back, sides and neck. Besides the visual differences, the tone of the Rosewood XL is a little different from traditional models. It sounds a little brighter to me, with a more open or "lively" tone. The tonal range is more like a good acoustic guitar than the typically dark tone of Hawaiian guitars. The Rosewood XL uses the Fishman under saddle pickup with their Presys+ preamp system. This system features 4 bands of EQ as well as a notch filter for feedback busting and a phase switch, which is another tonal variable that is particularily useful for adding some extra fullness at low volumes. The + part of Presys+ is the built-in tuner, always handy in any case, but especially if you're going to be changing tunings in the middle of a set. As with Imperial's other limited editions, there are no options. The Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL comes with everything they've got, including the Fishman Presys+ pickup system and a custom fit extra deep hard shell case. Imperial has only made 8 of these for this year. ## Features - Solid Spruce top with Rosewood back, sides and neck - Extra Deep body for more volume and tone - Cool vintage style "rope" binding - Fishman Presys+ pickup and preamp system with built-in tuner - Custom fit extra deep hardshell case included ## Images ![Imperial Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL Weissenborn Style Lap Steel Guitar - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41kqU-zXTZL.jpg) ![Imperial Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL Weissenborn Style Lap Steel Guitar - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41dvTssFU0L.jpg) ![Imperial Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL Weissenborn Style Lap Steel Guitar - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41e%2B59rHZCL.jpg) ![Imperial Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL Weissenborn Style Lap Steel Guitar - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41GIuYJVhHL.jpg) ![Imperial Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL Weissenborn Style Lap Steel Guitar - Image 5](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2Bgc5EJQvL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6394150-imperial-royal-hawaiian-rosewood-xl-weissenborn-style-lap-steel-guitar](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6394150-imperial-royal-hawaiian-rosewood-xl-weissenborn-style-lap-steel-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
