A hand-built T-style guitar from LsL Instruments, made in small batches rather than on a production line.

Watch

Why it matters

LsL builds its T Bone by hand, with hand-shaped necks and a thin finish, then sells through specialist dealers. The maker does not publish a list price, so this entry records none. Dealer listings and the secondhand market are the two reference points for what these actually sell for.

Note

The T boutique build.

Specifications

  • Scale length: unknown
  • Neck shape: Slim C

Before you buy

  • No published list price, so dealer pages are the reference
  • a small-shop build, so specification varies between instruments
  • stock moves quickly in this part of the market
