LsL Instruments T-Bone Guitar, 3A Roasted Birdseye Maple Neck, Aged 3-Tone Sunburst Sparkle

Player's Perspective

Built right here in Southern California a little up the road in Santa Clarita, our friends over at LsL are cranking out some of the best vintage-style axes in the USA. This gorgeous T-Bone with a stunning roasted birdseye maple neck, custom 3-Tone Sunburst Sparkle finish and an extra 22nd fret is a true stunner in every sense of the word, from playability and looks to its tone!

A bolt-on guitar with a classic sunburst finish with a maple neck is one of the most iconic looks in guitar history. The LsL gang decided to take every single one of those aspects to the next level! The Sparkle finish gives the quintessential Sunburst look a helping of flash and spectacular sizzle, and the roasted birdseye maple not only looks amazing, but adds to the tonal resonance of the guitar as well as makes the neck more stable throughout the seasons. On top of all of that, the fantastic heavy-aging job brings the whole package together and really bestows that road-worn, vintage vibe.

The LsL pickups sound fantastic, and have just the right amount of clarity and punch in all positions. Smooth warmth in the neck and punchy twang in the bridge is there in spades, and we're particularly fond of the quack of the middle position. The tonal signature is thoroughly vintage, and everything about this guitar just makes you feel right at home the minute it's in your hands.

It's an extremely dynamic and responsive guitar that will keep on kicking ass for decades to come - a boutique instrument from top to bottom!

Details

Our T Bone is a re-creation of the best a ‘50’s or ‘60’s vintage T style guitar has to offer, then more.

Each body is built and detailed by hand. Each neck is hand shaped. Then we lay on the thinnest possible nitrocellulose lacquer finish and that finish is then weather checked. This creates a very airy, open, articulate tone that is then enhanced by our own, LsL hand-wound pickups.

This is as close as you can get to achieving the tone, playability, look and feel of a vintage guitar. Our T Bones have found their way into the hands of many a player who has replaced their 50’s vintage instrument with our own. The best materials, best processes and a love and care for each guitar is what makes the T Bone the new standard in vintage-style instruments. We make them all for ourselves but then we have to sell them.
