Vintage guitars are expensive indeed. Old woods, Celluloid guards, Clay dots..... you want it, you can have it, brand new! Only your hairdresser will know for sure as your vintage dealer wont!

Blackie
Created a stir everywhere. The same says it all. People really like this theme especially when a little David clobbers F. Goliath in realism.
Mary K
Translucent blonde over ASH gets tossed in this category. Varying levels of yellowing to the finish. I make these every "not so often" so if you see one, buy it. Usually gold hardware but I like the look in chrome too.

S-54, S-59, S-63 etc
Tributes to the Classic years. Aged Alder body, maple neck with slab rosewood board. Hand wound vintage spec pickups. Available in classic custom colors. Each year had its attributes and my guitars are highly detailed in this respect. Of course some customers want RW/RP middle pickups and a 5 way switch and it is available on any model.

1959 Lester Burst
You can spend 400k for a 1959 Gibson LP flame top. Don't have 400k? That's OK. Lashing has your back. Old Growth Mahogany, Braz RW, Celluloid inlay, perfect PAF clones ... a thing of beauty.

'54 - '59 Lester Junior and Special
Old growth Mahogany, Braz RW, Just like the Les Paul Jr's of the past. Perfect p-90 clones, NOS parts and electronics sporadically available.

JJ Melody Maker
A fun tribute to a fine rock star. Gibson made a production run of Joan Jett signature models that are OK. This one was is a real '65 Melody Maker that had been trashed and parts robbed. Lashing likes to revive old Gibsons.

Originals. Yes I do l stuff that doesn't resemble anything else. If only the big players would stop letting their managers accept money for endorsements and play live what they do in the studio. See gallery.

Parts

Need a Celluloid Pickguard for your old Stratocaster? Lashing makes them. Can't find the right knobs, screws, wire? Lashing trades in NOS Parts. We also have recreated some of the rarest. Lashing made parts are not cheap, but neither is tooling, dies, molds and making sacrificial lambs of valuable vintage pieces.

Paint

All Lashing guitars are finished in old formula Nitro Cellulose lacquer. Various classic custom colors are offered. Any auto color from '54-present can be matched. Want it to glow? Yes Lashing can do that too. All our finishes will glow under UV with time but we also understand chemistry enough to offer instant glow as an upgrade.

Wood

Lashing actively buys, stocks and uses old growth woods. Honduras Mahogany, Brazilian Rosewood - Lashing buys it.

Restorations

Have a vintage piece that needs loving care? This is the only type of repair work I do. I only work on old Fenders and Gibsons. In order to be competent one has to choose a specialty.
