Lucem Custom Instruments Unorthodox

Designed exclusivley for Slowdive front man and guitarist Neil Halsted.

The design brief given to us was "A Telecaster  - meets a Jazzmaster - meets our Old Nick Paradox".

Built to the highest specs using the best parts, materials and construction techniques. 

Following our standard construction philosophy of a one-piece, quarter sawn Sapele Mahogany through-neck. This aids in transferring vibration evenly, across the whole frequency range, through the entire instrument, this helps increase sustain and eliminate dead spots.

Featuring one-piece through-neck construction (normally Sapele neck and Poplar body wings), 25.5" scale length, 22 frets, rosewood fingerboard, Lucem Stormrider humbuckers,  Graphtec Res-o-lite bridge (hardtail), Schaller Da'Vinci m/c heads, mother of pearl block inlays,  controls configuration, 4-ply scratchplate (black, white, pearloid or immitation tortoisehell) and high gloss solid colour finish in either Jet-Glo Black, Olympic White, Seafoam Green or Sonic Blue. Burst finishes plus many more options available.
