Maybach / Lester 57' Goldrush Aged / 2016 / Guitar
|
I’ve been an authorized dealer for Maybach since their very beginning and since they have established themselves as a household brand in very short time. Still they’ve managed to maintain the same un-compromised level of excellence throughout, and I feel they just keep getting better at what they’re doing. Handmade in Czech with nothing but the finest tonewoods, hardware and pickups, Maybach guitars are built by a small team of skilled luthiers dedicated to builing superior instruments based on tried and true vintage designs. A family owned company with a passion for guitars offering the best possible instruments at a players price-point. As they simply put it, “Back to the Truth”.
The Lester 57′ Goldrush is a personal favorite from the Lester series, as historically the original Les Paul design which was introduced in 1952 featured a goldtop finish. The late 50’s bursts which are in high demand these days didn’t appear until 1958. In 1957 the Gibson Les Paul was fitted with PAF humbuckers that replaced the P-90 pickups, yet still featured the goldtop finish. The Lester 57′ Goldrush pays homage to this transitional year in the history of the Les Paul model.
This particular example weighs just a little over 3,5 kg and is extremely resonant and a joy to play. Nice chunky 50’s shape neck and a worn in feels thanks to the impressive aging of the genuine nitrocellulose finish. I’ve taken quite a few pictures to show you the beautiful patina on this one. Especially with the Goldrush in certain light fall the weather-checking adds a beautiful textures which brings depth to the gold finish. The pickups on the Lester are Amber’s Spirit of 59′, which are considered to be among the best and most faithful reproduction of the original PAF humbucker to date. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity and of course the luxurious Maybach hardcase.
