We have used this guitar as an experimental model to test paint, topcoat, tuners, pickups, and even neck finish. Though a little "rough around the edges", it's a solid player and the combination of the TL bridge pickup and P90 works--on their own or together.

Offering at very special price, given imperfections. See pics.

Neck is Canadian maple, truss rod adjustable (heel) with a modern take on a vintage, aged neck finish.

Guts are solid--Alpha pots, Kaish switch, vintage style sheathed leads.

Sounds, plays and looks (not too close!) WAY beyond its price.

A fun guitar to play, and not to have to worry about!

So what’s the Les Brers (pron. “lay brare”, it’s French for “the brothers”) Guitars deal? How can we sell QUALITY guitars at these prices? Four basic things:

1.     Quality, proven parts--We’ve experimented with various parts from various manufacturers for many years. This has led to us finding parts that can be relied upon at a price that fits our model of selling accessible, affordable guitars. You won’t find this caliber of hardware and components in “big-name” guitars at our price point. We employ this hardware at ALL critical points:

a.     Nut

b.     Tuners

c.     Pickups

d.     Bridge

e.     Electronics: Switch, pots and cap

f.       Output

2.     The Personal Touch--Complete Prep, Setup and Tweak on EVERY GUITAR:

a.     Neck adjustment

b.     Fret leveling

c.     Re-crowning

d.     Dressing

e.     Bridge saddle height

f.       Nut action

g.     INTONATION.

3.     UNIQUE STUFF WE DO:

a.     ALL necks are installed using the Guide-Hole Physics principle, yielding noticeably more sustain and ring.

b.     All intonation set via electronic tuner.

c.     ALL Necks are finished in our proprietary, 20-step, hand rubbed oil finish—durable, sleek, and great playing.

d.     All cavities lined and pickup leads twisted to proper tpi to minimize noise and interference.

e.     Set nut action on EVERY guitar for best playability.

4.     …And, the BIG SECRET…WE ARE RETIRED AND DON’T NEED TO CHARGE A PENNY FOR OUR TIME/LABOR. So, we can sell stuff for $500 while others sell “comparable”—or less than comparable—instruments for $1,500, $2,000, whatever…

SO, WHAT’S OUR JAM?:                                                                            

·       Every guitar is unique and can’t be found anywhere but Les Brers Guitars

·       Les Brers Guitars are made in the USA

·       Every LBG guitar (well, almost every one) has the distinct headstock "B"-- for The Brothers ("Les Brers" in French) and Barbara, our Mom (Hi Mom)

---Concerned about Shipping?: We have utilized USPS or FEDEX for many years now and have NEVER had an issue. Approaching one hundred times, at this point. Why? It’s because we know how to pack ‘em right.

---Why Do We Do It? We love guitar-Americana and rustic guitars. We set out to build guitars that are most rustic and vintage looking, BUT, are fully professional-level instruments. We really love being able to provide a quality instrument that is hand made in America for FAR lower than the kind of price you'd expect to pay for a big-name manufacturer's American made guitar with the same caliber of components. The big-name manufacturers can make an aesthetically awesome guitar for this kind of price point. You can buy a beautiful $500 guitar and sure, the highly lacquered finish is perfect. BUT, why does it not play and sound anywhere near as great as it looks? Simple: They don’t put the quality of components in it that we do. Nor do they spend a lot of time setting each one up and testing it extensively to ensure that it is the best playing and best sound one can get from that set of components. We DO. Do we make the best, or the most aesthetically perfect guitars? NO. But we do give you an instrument that 1) Is wonderfully rustic, one of a kind, and 2) plays well/sounds good enough for professional work, and, 3) is not going to make you go broke, and, 4) is MADE IN THE USA. Being born and bred Jersey, we thusly conclude by saying—Like you should want more?!

PLAY ON, PEOPLE!
