The limited edition Maybach Guitar Heroes Lester '57 is a tribute to two legendary British guitarists, Bernie Marsden and Geoff Whitehorn, capturing everything players love about a great late-'50s Goldtop-style guitar.
Built with a lightweight weight-relieved mahogany body, carved maple top and long-tenon set neck construction, this Lester delivers exceptional resonance, sustain and feel. The chunky 50s neck profile feels instantly familiar, while the Cream T '57 GT humbuckers offer everything from warm vintage cleans through to rich classic rock drive.
Finished in Maybach's stunning Gold Rush Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar looks and feels like a well-loved vintage instrument straight from the case. At just 3.0kg, it's also remarkably lightweight and comfortable.
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.
