A.J.Lucas / Obelisk / 2019 / Osmo Oil/Natural / Guitar
|
This is my Obelisk model made entirely from reclaimed woods. The body is sapele from a church pew made in 1960, the body cap, fingerboard and head veneer are oak from an old bookcase, and the neck is Honduras mahogany from a shelf. The knobs are bakelite radio knobs. The scale length is 650mm (25.6").
The neck pickup is a TVJones Paul Yandell model, with blades under the top three strings and polepieces under the other three. The bridge pickup is P90 wound by myself. The controls are simple - volume, tone and three way selector switch.
Machine heads are Gotoh 510 minis, bridge is a Schaller Signum wrapover with very low profile.
The finish is Osmo oil with pigments rubbed into the grain to accentuate it.
Hiscox hard case included.
A J Lucas Luthier, UK 
I believe passionately in the connection between player and instrument. The guitar should not be a barrier between the musician and their music and so I builds tactile guitars that one can feel a visceral connection with. As much as possible I use reclaimed and local woods without compromising the quality of the instruments. I was originally trained in architecture and my work is informed by a sense of form and structure.
I build mainly steel string flat-top, electric and classical guitars to my own designs but also make mandolin family instruments and ukuleles.
