[F#] [A] [G] Pretty standard, well we can't call it the name, the [A] trademark name that it has and we
all know [G] what it is.
It's built by a guy named Scott Lentz, L-E-N-T-Z, lentzguitar.com on
the web.
He's an authorized Fender Gibson, you know, he's an authorized repairman for
all of them, but he also builds some great guitars and he builds some traditional, shall
we say, designs that we've all seen before and it's hard to top those designs, you know
what I mean, because I mean nobody's come out with better than this for a long time
now, since Leo, you know, put it together, Freddie Tavares put it together and he has
one called the HSL that I play a lot that it's not unlike a Telecaster, it's a little
bit different, it has that style of bridge and that style of bridge pickup, it's got
a single coil P90 style pickup in the front and a master tone and then two volumes, that's
where it differs from the traditional one, you know what I mean, because you only have
a volume and a tone and a switch and this one you can work the volumes and blend the
two pickups together and get a lot of tones out of it that way, so it works real good
and just the [Gm] fact that they don't make that many of them, you know, they build so many
guitars these [G] days and you just don't know where they're getting the wood from, you know
what I mean, and like this one here, this was a gift from Scott for me years ago, I've
been playing it for a long time and it was just an exceptional piece of alder that doesn't
weigh much and it's easy to stand up and play it all night because it's not real heavy
and it plays real easy, you know what I mean.
Nothing really out of the ordinary and the
hardware is not real fancy or anything like that, it's just very functional, works really
good and completely well put together, fit and finish, I mean every neck fits the body,
the neck pocket fits really good, hand wound pickups, you know, he's got his own little
formula that he uses for the weight and the density of the wood as to how the pickups
are wound for each individual guitar.
Pretty big, not as big as some of them, I think that
helps, I've got an old 63 Stratocaster that had a pretty thin neck on it and I wore the
neck out finally, I mean I had it refretted, it was a rosewood board and I had it refretted
so many times that the rosewood was down to just, it was very thin, so I put another neck
on it that Scott built me, a replacement neck and it was a little bigger and I noticed that
the sustain of that guitar went [Gm] up quite a lot.
I believe so, I [G] think it made that guitar,
and especially after I played it a while and got it where it was broken in, you know, it
started sounding like a different instrument, you know, I mean it always sounded good but
I think it sounded a little better with the big neck.
Yeah, frets on this one, like I
say, he put the big fret, these are jumbo fret and normally we use the ones called 6105
that's a very thin wire but it's a little tall, you know, and it's, the string only
contacts the narrow part, with these the intonation is a little bit more hard to get because it's
wider and the string is in contact with the top of the fret more than it is on the others,
the 6105s, but they feel so good and it's easy to bend strings, you know.
But the reason
we did it on this one was because I kept, I was wearing the frets out so fast that I
had to send
all know [G] what it is.
