Instruments LB13 Electric Guitar (Made in Brisbane)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt by Southside royalty, Leo Burmester, we are over the moon to introduce the LB13 that was crafted right here in Brisbane. Notes from the Luthier:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Originally built for myself using one of my favourite Australian timbers- Tasmanian Blackwood. A bit of an ode to the Koa Travis Beans. This guitar features a hand-carved 2 piece body that showcases one of Australia's most beautiful timbers. The neck is a perfectly quartersawn piece of blackwood with a dark indian rosewood fretboard, also bound in highly figured blackwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a thin 33mm to balance out the high density of the blackwood. The neck is a nice round C shape, perhaps a bit fuller feeling than a fender neck, but not by much. It is straight and stiff. This gives the guitar great sustain, and combined with the midrange-forward sound of the Travis Bean-inspired Madlove pickups, makes for a full and tight sound with great harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck plate, pickguard, cavity and truss rod covers are aluminium. Neck plate \"L\" cut by hand with a coping saw and small files.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI build all my guitars by hand in a small shed at my house in Brisbane, Australia. Each guitar is different and usually a great deal of time and energy is spent shaping them by hand to ensure they feel comfortable in your hand. I am not trying to create factory \"perfect\", but instruments that celebrate what they are and where they come from.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this guitar was originally for myself - it has been used. It has small some slight bucklerash on the back and some small marks about. The aluminium has slight oxidisation. I could probably repolish this if desired. \"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LB.
