Mahogany for the body and the glued neck, an excellent wraparound bridge, plus real good pickups like Amber P90 or humbucker, is the magic formula by which every Lester JR is flexing its muscles.
Each Maybach Lester Jr. is built entirely of lightweight mahogany. Its incredibly comfortable neck profile, modeled after this model’s best years from 1957 to 1959, is the entrance to the world of this fascinating guitar, which personifies honesty and directness like no other.
This one is built to order ! So you'll have a unique piece of European Craftsmanship.

When this guitar design first saw the light of day in 1955, it was primarily intended to address kids and students. But it took only a short time before full-grown professionals surrendered to the charm of simplicity and turned this student guitar into a fiery Rock ’n‘ Roll beast.
