The Maybach Lester '54 Custom is one of those guitars that immediately feels special the moment you pick it up. Inspired by the legendary single-cut Customs of the mid-1950s, this Black Velvet example combines old-school looks and feel with the superb build quality that has made Maybach one of Europe's most respected boutique guitar makers.
 

Finished in beautifully aged Black Velvet nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar captures the vibe of a well-loved vintage instrument while delivering all the reliability and consistency of a modern build. The lightweight mahogany body and maple top provide plenty of resonance, while the chunky 50s-style neck and ebony fingerboard feel substantial and reassuring in hand.
 

The pair of Amber Duke P90 pickups are a perfect match for the platform, delivering everything from warm, articulate cleans to snarling rock tones with exceptional clarity and dynamics. Whether you're chasing vintage blues, classic rock or roots-inspired tones, this Lester has it covered.
 

We're proud to be official Maybach dealers here at The Woodshed. These guitars impressed us from the moment we first picked one up. Rather than simply recreating vintage specifications on paper, Maybach focuses on capturing the feel, response and character that make great old guitars so special. Built in the Czech Republic and meticulously inspected and set up in Germany, they consistently offer a level of quality that rivals instruments costing considerably more.
 

Supplied complete with its original Maybach embossed hardcase, certificate of authenticity and inspection certificate.
