Lodestone Electric Pro S

Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars

Lodestone Pro S
Lodestone Guitar Company make some very interesting looking instruments. As you can see from the photo the body is sculpted with some very striking lines that I think are just for looks, I can’t see any ergonomic reasons for them but the interesting thing is that the pickguard sits into the body slightly, you can just see from the photo that it looks slightly inset with a soft bevel surround, something I’ve never seen before on a guitar but I think is a nice enhancement to the traditional design. Solid alder bodies combine with rock maple and Indian rosewood necks for optimum resonance and tone transmission. And a beautifully crafted heel design offers easy access to the higher frets while providing enhanced stability. Uniquely, bridge saddles are precision engineered from advanced ceramic material to enhance clarity, dynamics, harmonic content and sustain, I would like to hear how the ceramic bridge enhances the sound! Pickups are courtesy of Seymour Duncan, a SSL-2 and a SH-1B ’59 for a warm vintage tone.

One of the most unique features of this instrument is the headstock which as you can see from this page has the machine heads angled back to reduce friction at the nut and also makes for a more natural position for tuning. There are four different models available and a number of finishes so check out the site for all the details.

May be those lines are just looks or might have some ergonomic reasons, who knows?

I can’t really see it being an ergonomic reason? I think it is just to look cool!
