When a genius rocked the music world with an ingenious guitar design, no one could have predicted that he had enthroned the future queen of the electric guitar. When this queen cemented her reign in the 1960s with legendary blues-rock sounds from incredibly talented guitar heroes, she set the rock rolling and laid the foundation for unforgettable trademark sounds. Without it, today’s guitar world would sound very different. No wonder this guitar design has become one of the most popular in the history of electric guitars – and one of the most successful in the Maybach world.
We build the Lester Series with the best possible awareness of this great tradition of the golden fifties. Every Lester leaves our workshop knowing that it will carry on the great legacy of this musical genius to the world. And that makes us both humble and proud.
