The LH-309 archtop is the perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern value. The LH-309 begins with a solid hand-carved and hand-graduated spruce top accompanied by select maple back and sides. The mahogany neck has the traditional V-profile familiar to aficionados of classic Golden Age instruments. With a 16″ lower bout and a classic 24-3/4″ scale, the LH-309 is designed from original Golden Age archtop specifications.

Ideal Pickup Placement

We’ve carefully placed our own P-90 pickup in the perfect spot for optimal tone. The classic high output and articulate treble response of the P-90 is the ideal complement to the spruce top and maple back and sides, excellent for either rhythm or lead playing. With a classic Fluer-de-Lys headstock inlay, bone nut, open-geared Grover butterbean tuners, a historically accurate sunburst finish and a great-sounding P-90 pickup, we’ve built a guitar that will inspire you with vintage vibe.
