The Altitude Summary

Finding Les-style guitars that weigh under eight pounds is a rare delight. The Maybach Lester 60s, at just 7.7 lbs, merges vintage aesthetics with modern playability, with that 60s slim tapered neck profile. Its well-balanced neck size ensures effortless control and mobility, while the "Spirit of '59" pickups provide the punch and crunch that every player seeks.  To top this one off - this guitar has been Plek'd - which lends supreme playability all across the neck (cert. included).

The MAYBACH® Lester Electric Guitar

First introduced in 1952, the Lester design reached its zenith in the 1960s through the innovative artistry of British Blues-Rock guitarists. Their groundbreaking sounds cemented this guitar's legendary status. Modeled after the 1957-1959 dimensions, the Maybach Lester electric guitar features authentic body and neck profiles. Hand-wound Amber "Spirit of ’59" pickups deliver the raw, rock sound that has captivated guitarists for decades.

Honoring a Legacy

This iconic guitar design has become a cornerstone of electric guitars, reigning supreme in the 1960s and significantly influencing blues-rock sounds. Today, it remains one of the most celebrated models in the Maybach lineup. The Lester Series pays homage to the golden Fifties, with each Lester embodying the legacy of its iconic predecessor.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Materials

The Maybach Lester is meticulously crafted to match the body shapes and neck profiles of its golden era. Using premium tonewoods in traditional combinations, it provides an excellent foundation for the diverse and enchanting sounds this model is renowned for.

Attention to Detail

Weight and pickups are given special focus. The weight reduction process enhances the resonance of the lightweight mahogany body, keeping each Maybach Lester under 4 kg (8.8 lbs). Collaboration with esteemed pickup manufacturers like Amber has resulted in exceptional products, such as the "Spirit of ’59" humbucker, which delivers the dynamic, earthy sound this model is celebrated for.
