Lucas String Instrument Repair

Here is the black limba body that I will use to make the Nashville tele. I think I might carve a neck for it using black limba also. What the heck, let’s use ziricote for the fret board. A great combination of unbelievable tone. Let’s throw in some black ebony tuner buttons. She’ll be a beauty tone beast. Oh, and the customer wants a Bigsby trim also. Not sure of the pickups at this time. gonna get a hand rubbed finish. Medium high fret wire for nice note bending. Call me, let’s plan your dream guitar. Prices start at $1800. I included some builds in various stages of build to show the beauty of black limba wood.

Working on a late 40s Gibson J-45. Sweet one, light weight excellent tone. Re-glueing some braces. Replacing nut and saddle. Replacing non-original Tuners with period ones. Nice action. Definitely a keeper!

Building another 12 string queenie. Sassafras neck/body with top and back birdseye maple caps. Stay tuned for updates.
