This guitar design came on the market in a version not thought through to the end in 1952 but was given its due later with the emergence of British Blues-Rock in the 1960s through the incredibly creative guitar work of young English guitarists. With unbelievable sounds for the time, they celebrated moving music that forever etched the nimbus of this type of guitar into music and guitar history.
The Maybach Lester was modeled according to the dimensions used between 1957 and 1959 in terms of body and neck profiles. And the hand-wound Amber “Spirit of '59” pickups deliver exactly the no-frills rock sound that the great guitarists of history thrilled us with.
Every day Maybach do their best to revive this unique spirit of the pioneers of electric guitar in each and every Maybach instrument.
