EMPTY DOM REMOVE PROTECTOR

The Lester ’72 Custom is a refined single-cut electric that blends the '70 design with modern build quality. Its solid mahogany body with a maple top and Nitrocellulose finish delivers rich, balanced tone, while the set-neck and quality hardware ensure expressive playability and seasoned character. The Custom Lester features a multi-layered binding on the body and headstock.

All Lester Customs feature a moderate reduction in weight. Typically, Lester models weigh between 3.4 and 3.6 kg—without compromising on sound quality!

Choose your neck profile:
Lester ’59 with a 50s fat neck
Lester ’60 with a 60s slim taper neck

Available in Aged nitro for vintage authenticity or New Look poly for a clean, modern finish. Premium MAYBACH Case included.

Who this guitar is for?
The Lester ’72 Custom is for players who want a classic single-cut with vintage warmth and versatile tone. It suits blues, rock, and classic styles where clarity, sustain, and feel matter — especially for players who value a familiar neck profile and responsive attack.
