Just purchased a LSL T-Bone last weekend. It’s my perfect guitar, picking up a Saticoy this weekend. I can’t believe there’s not a bigger following for LSL. I find them absolutely amazing.
If you haven’t reached out to the team yet I highly recommend you do! Johann is one of the coolest reps and is happy to talk about the guitars that you own.
The Indonesian-made Schecter Nick Johnston guitars at $799 are crazy good for the money. A buddy of mine ditched his Suhr and bought 2 Schecters (SSS and HSS models). I also own two Nick Johnston HSS guitars. Best necks I've played. Solid all the way around. Wes
I bought an Indo Schecter (CR6 Pro) from the wall, after testing many guitars in the same range (Ibanez, esp, jackson etc). It feels so smooth, everytime I grab it to play I remember that feeling at the shop when I decided for it against bigger brands.
I've been to three local guitar stores. I had some different guitars in mind after watching over a hundred RU-vid videos, reading Reddit suggestions and reviews online since I have a few acoustics, but I wanted to get an electric guitar again (I sold everything back in the day that I used to own) so that I could jam with my son since he plays electric drums now, and the acoustic-electric isn't quite as fun for jamming. Anyway, there was an LsL Saticoy (satin gold body, white pickguard, HSS) that I picked up to play, it was not on my list, I had never heard of them, I was just trying anything and everything that I might like at the stores to get a feel (literally) for what I wanted. WOW! This guitar felt and played SOOO COMFORTABLY! 😀 It had a great vintage tone, and the HSS setup made it quite versatile to help cover a lot of ground (important for me since I only want to have the one electric. I thought to get a Boss Katana Artist to also have one amp to cover a lot of ground.). The price of this guitar was NOT originally in my budget I had loosely guestimated, but, wow, I'm considering it! Very cool to find out a bit more about their uniqueness once the store employee talked to me, and I've started reading online, and watching videos, like yours. 😉👍 Thanks! 🙂👍 There was a Fender Player Plus HSS at another store, but it wasn't quite the same, obviously, at a third of the price! This overall feel, the entire guitar, just SO COMFORTABLE! But, I REALLY like P90s, and I'm trying to decide between the Yamaha Revstar P90 standard version or this guitar (big price difference, different guitars, but both fit, in their way, what I'm looking for). I also would LIKE to try a Reverend Double Agent with the P90 in the neck and the humbucker in the bridge.
I never heard of this company either until 2021, but shortly realized that they did make some guitars for some of my favorite musicians and I just never put two and two together. If you check out other videos on my channel, I have two other LSL custom shop builds that I've received within the last year or so to help convince you haha
I was scrolling through Reverb looking at Saticoys saw your guitar, and was like wait a minute, I've seen this guitar on RU-vid before. How weird I remembered that. I've been wanting to try one.
Got a used lefty LSL TBoneOne today....wow. My 8th and best Tele...as expected. My first 'custom' level guitar....wanted to move up past USA-Elite, etc...glad I did. Having said that....my opinion is that the LSL has great pups....but my Lollars and McNelly's are also amazing sounding pickups...Fralins are no slouch either...even on a cheap Squier CV50. Tip: Took me 1 hour to decide to disconnect neck pup from tone pot...and my LSL picked up output and clarity at the neck.
Honestly? I like this one better 😁 The humbucker is amazing and it feels great. The Fender neck was a bit thinner and I really liked it, but otherwise I prefer the LSL.
Thanks Riley! I have heard of both companies, and played a few HH Knaggs when I worked at Guitar Center. I know the company is made up of ex-PRS employees and their guitars are stellar. But I have not tried Stratocaster style guitars from either of those companies yet. I would absolutely be open to them though! What are your thoughts on them?
It's honestly better in every way. Pickups are better, neck is slimmer, hardware is more solid, and it just feels and plays better. I can get the action lower as well.
