LSL T-Bone Jaqueline Black w/ binding

An LSL T-Bone bears a striking resemblance to a sweet old Tele that’s been aging gracefully for about 50 years, waiting for you to rescue it. Jacqueline (LSL uses names, not numbers, on all their guitars) gives the impression she's been working hard the entire time.
This double-bound black beauty features a lightweight sugar pine body. The nitrocellulose finish has a well-worn patina and plenty of dings, nicks and other 'mileage indicators.' This is a guitar for the relic fan. The body, pickguard, neck and hardware have all been aged generously, to give the feel and appearance of a guitar that has rocked—or twanged— hard for a lot of years.

The fingerboard is maple; the maple neck a beautiful, aged gold vintage tint and falls comfortably between a “soft V” and a 50s “C” shape. The stripes in the maple are a thing of beauty.

Jacqueline has custom-wound LSL vintage-voiced single-coil pickups, dome knobs, a well-aged white pickguard—and she's nice and light.
Like every LSL, Jacqueline was all made by hand—just the way you’d make a guitar, if you could. As a matter of fact, company owner Lance Lerman says, “We build them all for ourselves but then we have to sell them.” You can tell.

Why We Like LSL Guitars
Imagine you unearthed a stash of electric guitars made in California in the 50s: lightweight ash or sugar pine bodies; thin, nitrocellulose finishes; hand-wound pickups; hand-cut bodies and hand-shaped necks—pretty much hand everything. You’d be as excited about them as we are.

LSL is a small company. They work on each guitar until it’s finished. They don’t use serial numbers—they give each guitar a name. And not surprisingly, they sound great and feel like that old guitar your uncle has owned since high school. For everything you get, they’re reasonably priced. Maybe that’s why they never stay in the store for long.
