Well got me this actually for xmas. I fell in love with this guitar over a year ago and was stalking the owner since to sell it to me. Lucky me, he had to find funds to do a downpayment on his mortgage, so now this one (her name is Rae Ann) is mine. I gotta say I played a few LSLs since and they are all very special instruments with lots of mojo - but this one is standing out even among all those fine planks.

That looks a very handsome beastie. Are things like radius, neck profile etc. all period correct or are those aspects a bit more modern? I only ask as it's some I see more of these days.

I think it is but not sure. It has quite a radius and is a handful. But all I can say the neck is like cocaine for the hands. Can't get enough of it once you grab it. Body is sugar pine and light as a feather.

Super cool looking guitar! Big congrats!!!
-
Great playing and great tone!
Beautiful guitar, congrats!

Wow, it must be a nightmare for Roo...teles everywhere. I am even so close myself...Vintage Tele? Why not.
Anyway, congrats, that is tasty!

indeed, completely forgot about Roo hahaha
Respect to Leo Fender, he truly was a genius, and Lance S. Lerman really takes it up a notch from where Leo left it.

used to be a white guard, 5 screws and a Fender Bakelite scratch plate from Thomann later now she is a blackguard ;)

Congrats man, she looks great! I had to google it as I was not familiar with the brand.

so was I - until my friend Edin came along to test the Torpedo Live and brought along some of his guitars, amongst which was this one. The company story of LSL is also quite a nice read on their website, started out a bit like BKP, small garage thing but now they are growing fast. I'm happy I got one of the early makes of them.

Oh yeah, that looks great :D
-
Nice! :D
I've seen a few LSL guitars at GuitarGuitar in Epsom, they look great close up but I didn't dare ask to try one.

You should overcome your fears, it will be fatal for your financials.

I'm trying not to spend lots of money on guitars this year (hmmm, heard that before somewhere....)
And of course, there are at least three "potential Teles" lurking under my metaphorical bed. Not with nice relic finishes though.
-
That's a smart looking tele and I bet it even looks better with a black guard. When I remember well Carl Verheyen plays an LSL strat. Btw, great tone in the vid!
-
very nice :D
-
Yes, thumbs aloft Macca style from me too. Looks and sounds superb.

Yes they released a CV Carl Verheyen model actually.

I was looking at those on their website earlier. It's funny that he's come up with a signature model that's basically identical in specs to an "ordinary" vintage Fender Strat (apart from the 9.5" radius, but even that's common on Custom Shop models). Still, I expect the LsL is extremely well made.

The LSL guy really knows his ways how to sort amazing quality woods. In my opinion, LSL are better than most Custom Shop Fenders I have played, and they cost considerably less. I also must say that the pickups on my Tele are almost noise free, although they are real single coils. No idea how they did it, but it just is great.

Was just about to make the very same comment...
I am even so close myself...Vintage Tele? Why not.
Every guitar player on earth should have a Tele, and this comes from a LP/SG lover.
Anyway, congrats, that is tasty!
Indeed.

Nice, another damn fine guitar to the herd H.....damn fine.
