he body is crafted from lightweight, resonant mahogany, topped with a carved maple cap, and finished in a breathtaking Midnight Sunset Burst — a deep, dark outer hue melting into a glowing, fiery amber center. Each guitar receives Maybach’s expert aging treatment, giving it the subtle wear, checked lacquer, and soft patina of a well-loved vintage original.
The 60s Slim Taper neck profile is a key feature here: sleek, fast, and extremely comfortable, it’s designed for players who love articulate runs, smooth bends, and a modern playing feel without sacrificing vintage vibe. A rosewood fingerboard with vintage trapezoid inlays completes the classic look.
At the heart of the tone are hand-wound Amber Spirit of ’59 PAF-style humbuckers, delivering the airy clarity, warm midrange, and harmonically rich breakup that defined an era. Roll back the volume for crystalline cleans, or push your amp and let the Lester sing with creamy, responsive overdrive.
Finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar resonates freely, allowing every note to bloom. Aged nickel hardware, vintage-style tuners, and period-correct electronics complete this faithful recreation. The Maybach Lester Midnight Sunset 60s Slim Taper Aged isn’t just a guitar — it’s a time machine for your tone.
