LsL Guitars

Lance Lerman, owner and builder of LsL Guitars, has quickly developed a loyal, almost fanatical, following amongst the Tele cognoscenti and as of 2010 has thrown his hat into the Strat market as well with his new, 50's style guitars that are equally fantastic. Between the incredible tone and playability of his guitars and the fact that his guitars are very reasonably priced the word is spreading quickly.

At LsL Guitars there is no CNC work. All guitar bodies and necks are cut, carved and sanded by hand. Pickups are proprietary, handwound units with amazing vintage accuracy both in terms of looks and tone and even the pickguards are custom cut. No two are exactly alike, but they all sound amazing! The fretwork is fantastic and the tone extremely lively and balanced.

Vintage 7.25" radius combined with modern 6105 fretwire results in fantastic playability all the way up the neck and is the perfect combination of vintage feel and modern playability.

A truly authentic 50's sounding guitar at a price that is well below the competition! Available in either lightweight Southern Swamp Ash (SA) or Sugar Pine (SP) bodies.

General

These guitars are simply fantastic. They have such ring and clarity when you want a vintage spank yet morph into beefy, raw rock machines when that's your mood. The 7.25" vintage correct radius is offset in terms of playability by the high 6105 fretwire making these guitars effortless to play. Big bends are no problem even with a perfectly straight neck and, of course, the vintage radius makes for a great feel when playing open chords.

High angle of break over the saddles increases resonance and sustain.....see close-up photo of saddles in the gallery above.

Other popular guitars in this price range are merely well assembled parts guitars. The LsL instruments are the Real Deal having been completely cut, carved, sanded, finished and assembled by hand by Lance S. Lerman......one at a time.

Saticoy "Isky" in RC Red

MSRP: $2495.00 FAT PRICE: $2249.00 AVAILABILITY: Sold
Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy Saticoy

Name: Isky

Weight: 6.2 Pounds

"This guitar is just sick! When Lance Lerman called me to say that he had quite possibly just completed his finest guitar to date, he definitely raised my expectations, but after playing this piece for a solid hour I'd say he actually managed to exceed them. At 6.2 Pounds it's light as a feather, but the tone manages to be thick and meaty when needed, but also has a wonderfully detailed shimmer and clarity. The perfect Strat? That's impossible to say, but it's a really, really good one."

General

These guitars are simply fantastic. They have such ring and clarity when you want a vintage spank yet morph into beefy, raw rock machines when that's your mood.

The Southern PIne models are highly sought after due to their having the best qualities of a great Swamp Ash body, but with a larger, more pillowy low end that just blooms so beautifully that it will truly amaze you.
