Maybach Lester '58 Aged Elektriska gitarrer

Maybach Lester Cherry Lane '58 Aged – Cherry Burst Single-Cut in the Spirit of 1958

The Maybach Lester Cherry Lane '58 Aged is a handcrafted single-cut electric guitar built to the specifications of the late-1950s originals. Its flamed maple top in the Cherry Lane burst, mahogany body and aged nitrocellulose finish recreate the look of a vintage instrument, and the full Big C neck delivers the chunky 50s feel.

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.

• Neck: Solid mahogany, glued-in (set neck)
• Neck profile: Big C (50s fat neck)
• Neck thickness: approx. 23 mm at the 1st fret, 25.5 mm at the 12th fret

• Nut: Bone, 42.8 mm wide
• Scale length: 628 mm

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.
