If you're already in the Lentz-sphere, so to speak, you likely know what you're looking at and it's why you're here. For the uninitiated, there are three 'categories' of Lentz Guitars to be aware of: the Reserve Series, the Traditional Series, and their "pre-lawsuit" guitars.

The Reserve, as the name implies, is their top-of-the-line offering, featuring flamed neck woods and aged one-piece bodies. The Traditional series are equally as great, just slightly toned down with regards to the flamed woods. Lastly, we have the "pre-lawsuit" guitars. To clarify, there was no lawsuit, but as happens with builders who are making Fender style instruments with a traditional Fender headstock, Fender sent a cease and desist letter which led to the current Lentz headstock.

The pre-lawsuit Lentz guitars tend to be from the early 2000s and feature a traditional Fender headstock for those who insist on a traditional look. We've always felt this era of Lentz guitars feel ever so slightly different from their current guitars, but not in a bad way (far from it, actually).
