Lentz Croydon
Lentz's LP-inspired solid-body electric with a carved figured-maple top and hand-wound humbuckers.
About this guitar
The Croydon takes cues from vintage LP-style guitars Lentz has repaired and restored over decades. Its resonant, ergonomic body pairs with Lentz’s own hand-wound humbuckers for a vintage tone with a comfortable, modern feel. Mahogany set-neck construction with a carved figured-maple top. Built to order with a nitrocellulose finish.
