About this guitar

Lentz’s Traditional Series S-Style draws on decades spent restoring and repairing vintage S-style guitars. Three Lentz hand-wound single-coil pickups, matched to the body’s weight and resonance, pair with a stable cap-neck design for articulate, warm tone. Built to order with a choice of nitrocellulose finishes.
