Maybach Lester 60s Slim Taper Aged Sähkökitara

Maybach Lester Honey Pie 60s Slim Taper Aged – Honey Burst Single-Cut with 60s Slim Taper Neck

The Maybach Lester Honey Pie 60s Slim Taper Aged is a handcrafted single-cut electric guitar that recreates the specifications of the classic late-1950s instruments. A flamed maple top in the Honey Pie burst sits on a mahogany body, the aged nitrocellulose finish shows the patina of a well-played guitar, and the slim 60s D-shaped neck suits players who prefer a flatter, faster profile.

Body and Finish

The body follows the proven single-cut recipe of mahogany with a glued-on maple top: mahogany brings warmth and sustain, maple adds definition and brilliance. Selected woods and a carefully chosen weight relief keep every Lester under 4 kg, so the guitar stays comfortable during long gigs.

• Body: Mahogany with Enhanced Resonance System
• Top: Glued-on flamed maple
• Binding: ABS
• Finish: Aged nitrocellulose lacquer

Neck and Fingerboard

The glued-in solid mahogany neck carries a bone nut and Wagner medium-jumbo frets that make bending easy and give clean articulation. The 628 mm scale and 12" radius offer the familiar feel of classic set-neck guitars for both chords and lead playing.

Who Is It For

The Lester is made for rock and blues players who want the sound and feel of a classic single-cut from the late 1950s in a handcrafted European instrument. It works just as well for clean rhythm parts as for crunchy riffs and singing leads.

Maybach – Handmade in Europe

Maybach guitars are handmade in Europe: this instrument was built in the Czech Republic, and each guitar receives its final inspection and setup in Germany. The Amber pickups used by Maybach are also available separately or as a set as replacement parts.
