Electric Guitar. Hand Made in USA. Grover Tuners. Quality Pups, Bridge and Guts.

Description: The Claro Pharoah, from Les Brers Guitars.With a three-piece back of Alder and Red Alder and a top of beautiful Turkish Claro Walnut, the CP is as pretty as it is smooth in action and classically "Telly" in sound.And the quality of the CP doesn't stop at its looks. The guts are all the kind of quality you'd get from an American made you-know-what, but at a fraction of the price. Versatile, clear and very well balanced, the Ascendas pickups are equally comfortable going modern, traditional, or anywhere in between. The electronics are name brand, quality components. Alpha pots, Kaish switch, and the industry leading PureTone double contact output jack all ensure that your signal path is clear as a bell, with no snap crackle or pop. In fact, at Les Brers Guitars, we do two things most don't, and that results in a guitar so quiet that many have told us it's the quietest guitar they've ever played--we line all cavities, and we precisely wind all pickup leads to a spec designed to reduce/eliminate rf interference.And everything that touches the strings has been carefully selected to give you a guitar playing experience akin to an instrument thousands of dollars more. Grover tuners, a six saddle, fully adjustable bridge, and a bone nut cut to exacting specifications further provide you a guitar that plays, sounds and looks like one for thousands more.The single bound body is complimented by the maple/maple neck with lasered Les Brers logo and flag eagle emblem. The neck has been finished with our own proprietary hand rubbed oil finish that is at once durable, sleek looking and sleek playing.Tuners are the best--Grovers--because, after all, a guitar that doesn't stay in tune is no more than a wall ornament! And finally, the neck has been attached to the body via the "guide hole physics" method. The GHP method ensures the most solid neck/body communion possible, which results in noticeably longer sustain, ring and clarity.Look closely at the pics and you'll notice some imperfections, and some evidence of the guitar being hand-built. Nothing major, and no effect on the overall, but in the spirit of full disclosure...THANK you for your interest.Specs and Deets:Neck: Canadian maple.Neck Plate: Std bolt on sizeFrets: Medium/6105Fretboard radius: 12"Pickups: Ascendas vintage Telecaster pickups.Tuners: GroverNut: 100% bone, custom fitNut slots: Custom cut to .030" on all stringsPots: Alpha mini, 250ohm; Audio taperCapacitor: .047uF "Orange drop"Switch: Kaish 3-way switchStrap Buttons: Oversized True Custom Shop strap buttonsStrings: D'Addario Light Ga. 10-46 So what’s the Les Brers (pron. “lay brare”, it’s French) Guitars deal? How can we sell true quality guitars for these prices? Boils down to three reasons: 1. Time-Tested Parts Selection: · The Hardware--Bridge Saddles, Nut, Tuners, String Retainers · The Electronics: We use only quality, name brand pickups, switches, pots, caps, jacks and wiring, NO generics. 2. The Personal Touch: · Complete Prep, Setup and Tweak on EVERY GUITAR ALL THE TIME: Neck adjustment, fret leveling, re-crowning, dressing, bridge saddle height, nut action, Intonation, fingerboard treatment, and... · Signal Chain and Grounding— o All Body Cavities are Copper Lined o Pickup leads twisted to a tpi specifically designed to minimize RFI (folks often tell us ours is the quietest single coil guitar they’ve ever played) · ALL Necks are finished in our proprietary, 20-step, hand rubbed oil finish—durable, sleek, and good playing. · All necks are joined with Guide Hole Physics method to maximize tightness in the pocket and therefore sustain and ring. BUT…HERE’S THE ”BIG” SECRET:: · WE ARE RETIRED AND DON’T NEED TO CHARGE A PENNY FOR OUR TIME/LABOR! So, we can sell stuff for $500 while others sell “comparable”—or less than comparable—instruments for $1,750, $2,000, whatever. SO, WHAT’S OUR JAM?: · Every guitar is rustic and unique and can’t be found anywhere but Les Brers Guitars · Les Brers Guitars are made right near the shores of Jersey…in the USA · Les Brers Guitars have the distinct headstock "B"-- for The Brothers ("Les Brers" in French) and Barbara, our Mom (Hi Mom, on whatever cloud you are soaring…) Bottom Line: Look, we play guitar. We know. It’s tough to think of buying a guitar from some yahoos online without touching it and playing it, right? We get it. That’s exactly why we offer the Double-Your-Money-Value guarantee AND Satisfaction Guarantee below: ---The Unique Les Brers Guitars Double Your Money Value Guarantee: We are so convinced you will find our guitars play like guitars twice their price or more, we make you the following bold guarantee: If you don’t think your Les Brers guitar plays like a guitar that’s twice its price, we will take it back and give you full refund (conditions apply). ---Concerned about Shipping?: We have utilized USPS or FEDEX (and sometimes UPS) for many years now and have NEVER had an issue. Approaching one hundred times at this point. Why? Because we know how to pack ‘em right. ---'Til death do us part...: When you buy one of our guitars you get our support and that’s FOR LIFE (OURS, that is!). As long as we're around, we would be happy to tweak, repair, and/or alter any of our guitars as you wish. (Note: there may be charges associated with same). ---Why Do We Do It? We love guitar-Americana and rustic guitars. We set out to build guitars that are most rustic and vintage looking, BUT, are fully functional, professional performance-level instruments. We do so because we really love being able to provide a quality instrument that is hand made in America for FAR lower than the kind of price you'd expect to pay for a big-name manufacturer's American made guitar with the same caliber of components. We love nothing more in life—literally—than hearing one of our customers say their LBG plays as well as, or better than their $2500 big name. The big-name manufacturers can make an aesthetically awesome guitar for this kind of price point. You can buy a beautiful $500 guitar and sure, the finish is perfect. BUT, why does it not play and sound anywhere near as great as it looks? Simple: They don’t put the quality of components in it that we do, nor do they spend a lot of time on the human element. We DO. Do we make the best, or the most perfect guitars? NO. But we do give you an instrument that 1) Is wonderfully rustic, one of a kind and can’t be found anywhere else, and 2) plays well/sounds good enough for professional work, and, 3) is not going to make you go broke, and, 4) is MADE IN THE USA. Being from Jersey, we thusly conclude by saying—Like you should want more?! PLAY ON, PEOPLE… Les Brers Guitars, LLC
