Channeling the classic late-1970s and early-1980s "hippie sandwich" aesthetic popularized by vintage Japanese and Korean workshop builds, this Vintage Lotus Double-Cut Electric Guitar delivers resonant sustain, vintage coil punch, and distinctive retro styling.
The body features a rich dark walnut/mocha gloss front paired with a natural-finish back, accented by multi-laminate maple and walnut racing stripes running through the center of the instrument. It is outfitted with two vintage-voiced, exposed double-cream humbucking pickups mounted in matching cream rings, controlled by a 3-way pickup selector toggle and individual volume and tone knobs for each pickup. A heavy-duty black hardtail bridge with a string-through-body ferrule design provides excellent resonance transfer and rock-solid tuning stability.
Luthier Repair & Structural Condition Note:
This guitar suffered a previous neck break near the headstock transition/volute area. It has been professionally repaired, re-glued, clamped, sealed, and bench-calibrated in-house at DeMont Guitars. The joint is completely sealed, structurally reinforced, and 100% stable under full string tension.
The instrument has received a full bench setup: frets have been cleaned and polished, the rosewood fingerboard conditioned, the truss rod adjusted, and the electronics tested for crackle-free operation. It comes complete with a vintage-style cream/white heavy-duty canvas gig bag with front accessory pocket and reinforced carry handle.
