Now this is something really, really special. Simon at SVL from across the pond makes some of the finest hand-crafted guitars in the world, and this one is a truly unparalleled masterpiece. You don't see too many of his LP-style builds out in the wild, and this one very well may be the only one currently for sale in this hemisphere!
Crafted from the finest sourced "old, old Honduras mahogany", this sweet baby weighs in at a very manageable 7.76lbs. Incredibly light in comparison to most other 50's LP-style builds on the market! And the "Yorkshire Teaburst" finish looks gorgeous on that figured maple top.
The neck is crafted from that same Honduran mahogany, and it features a chunky 50's style D-profile, with a thickness measuring 0.870" at the 1st fret and 0.980" at the 12th. It's complemented with a super dark rosewood fretboard with a radius of 12" and a nut width of 1 11/16".
And to top it all off, this thing is sprinkled with some super tasteful relicing to really drive home that 50's vibe, and finished with a lightly aged, de-shined nitrocellulose.
The Lester is wired up with the stock 50's-style electronics, and loaded with a pair of full-bodied sparkly Dingwall PAF humbuckers, rated at 7.37k in the neck and 8.40k in the bridge.
This guitar is going to make someone really happy. It plays like magic and it absolutely sings unlike any other LP-style guitar we've seen, aside from maybe an actual Gibby from the 50's.
