Lentz Pre-Lawsuit 50's T-Style Vintage Blonde, Near Mint, Original Hard, $3,749.00
Thanks to the generosity of a good friend and customer, I am able to offer this fabulous Tele-style guitar built by Scott Lentz around 2003 I believe. Based upon my own observations and measurements, the specifications for this incredible guitar include: a lightweight ash body of one or two pieces (no seam is evident) with a gorgeous vintage blonde transparent lacquer finish and a total guitar weight of just 6.8 pounds; a chunky C-shape, one-piece maple neck with depth measurements of .920" at the first fret and .990" at the 12th fret; the pre-lawsuit era "F shape" head stock; a 9.5" radius fret board with what appears to be 6105 fret wire and a bone nut measuring 1.635". The pickups have the tone and output I have come to expect from Scott's own great vintage-wound single coils. I have spoken with Scott about this guitar and he has confirmed these specs to the best of his recollection. This guitar plays so nice you won't want to put it down and the tone is divine; very vintage-Tele sounding. This is a fantastic, hand-built, 50's style blackguard that could make any serious Tele-freak wet themselves. There isn't a thing I would change on this guitar, unless of course I could teach it to reproduce copies of itself! I've had a precious few of Scott's Teles from this period in stock before, but none have been in the fabulous cosmetic condition of this instrument. Other than a few extremely light swirls on the body and pickguard, this guitar looks new. The frets show little if any wear and it comes in it's original blonde G&G case in similarly nice condition. This guitar is a Tele-lover's dream. Make it yours....
