This is a rare Lentz indeed - hardtail and Desert Sands finish? Find another!

One of the things that makes a Lentz guitar so special is the wood they're made from - specifically the neck. They're incredibly stable and a huge reason why these guitars sound so good, and this Desert Sands hardtail S-Style is no exception.

Scott Lentz and his son, Scott Jr, have an incredible stash of woods at their disposal (most, if not all, of which was purchased decades ago and has been curing in their shop ever since). Each guitar is extremely resonant and lightweight, the pickups are wound specifically for that particular guitar, and the electronics are carefully matched in order to achieve the best tones possible - no detail is left untouched.

The tones are 3-dimensional, nuanced, and powerful. The tone controls work extremely well allowing you to really dial in the guitar to your rig. No brittle or weak bridge pickup tones here - the bridge pickup on this guitar will easily hang with the best Tele bridge pickup.

Add in the hardtail (vs. the standard tremolo) and the Tele-isms, if you will, start to really surface. It resonates a little differently than a trem-equipped Strat, and we have become huge advocates of the hardtail style. There's something subtle and different both feel and tone-wise that we find incredibly cool. If you're a lifelong, or new, Strat player and haven't checked out a hardtail, this is the guitar to start with.
