The Luminous Centerline Deluxe is built to impress. Exotic and highly figured woods are selected for exceptional appearance and tonality. Accenting their looks are fine electronics to give stellar, useful tone across a variety of musical styles. The Centerline Deluxe is truly among the finest electric guitars you’ll find.This Centerline Deluxe is made from a matched two-piece Black Limba body. Limba, also known as korina, is a classic guitar wood, most notably used in Gibson Explorers and Flying Vs beginning in the 1950s. It yields very warm tones, retaining a polished sound from sultry clean to heavily distorted. This body has unique, beautiful grain features: the olive tone of the wood is heavily striped with dark brown and red. The body is partially chambered for weight relief and open, airy tone. The top is stunning, instantly recognizable bookmatched Zebrawood. The body features a "tummy cut" contour on the back and over-rounded corners for added comfort.All Centerline guitars feature a hand-carved neck joint, offering major playing improvements over traditional guitars of this style.The neck is constructed from an Indonesian wood called Kwila, which is known to resist warping. Its rich, chocolate color pairs wonderfully with a high grade Gabon Ebony fingerboard. Sanded to a glassy smooth surface, ebony plays fast and yields clear tone with defined bass. The 9.5” radius fingerboard features 22 extra-tall/medium-width frets with Paua Abalone dot inlay on the fingerboard, side of the neck, and ornamental accents on the back of the headstock. Its hand carved C profile is somewhat thinner up the length of the neck for ease of reach. It feels cozy along the full length for players of all hand sizes. The thin nitrocellulose on the back of the neck is sanded to a satin finish for superior motion.For the Deluxe series, the best woods require the most suitable electronics. With a covered humbucker in the neck position and an overwound bridge pickup, this instrument has the power to drive a high gain amp to liquid sustain and fat-bottomed open chords, with the subtlety to make quiet, articulate clean passages thanks to a “Micawber” pickup set from Onamac Windery. They’re hand wound by Kerry Learned at Onamac Windery in Washington state. Here’s what he has to say:"A stout classic PAF style humbucker for the neck constructed using era correct butyrate bobbins with specially selected 42awg plain enamel magnet wire, unpolished rough cast full size alnico 5 magnet, maple spacer, vintage alloy pole screws and slugs all lightly wax potted and housed in a beautifully chromed American made nickel/silver cover."The Tele bridge uses the early style larger diameter flush alnico 3 magnets specially selected 43awg plain enamel magnet wire, heavy duty plain steel base plate, the coil is wound in black rope to look like the early lap steel pickups that Keith [Richards] uses."Hand wound harmonics & clarity make for the sweetest tone you've heard from a humbucker while the bridge growls with the perfect amount of mid range grit. Both pickups are wound for business with the neck at 8.0k and the bridge at 10.2k."Custom Switching:Position 1 - Bridge AlonePosition 2 - Bridge and Split-Coil Neck Humbucker in ParallelPosition 3 - Bridge and Full Neck Humbucker in ParallelPosition 4 - Neck AloneWith the purchase of this instrument, I will string and set the guitar up to your specifications free of charge. It is currently equipped with D’Addario 10-46 strings, but I will alter this to your preference. I want it to come out of the box ready for you to play.
I will always be available for questions or concerns with this instrument. Moreover, if you are in the Portland, Oregon area I offer discounted maintenance and repair to Luminous instruments. I’d be pleased to talk more about this instrument. Over the years, I’ve purchased dozens of guitars on the internet, from cheap Ibanez to vintage Gibson. I know what it’s like to need to know everything you can before hitting the Buy Button. If you have any questions please message me early and often.Sound ClipFeaturesBody Type: Semi-HollowBody Shape: Telecaster StyleRight-handedNumber of Strings: 6Body Material: Matched 2-Piece Black Limba with Zebrawood TopBody Finish: Nitrocellulose LacquerColor: Transparent GlossNeck Material: One-Piece KwilaNeck Shape: C, Hand CarvedRadius: 9.5”Fingerboard Material: Gabon EbonyFingerboard Inlay: Paul Abalone DotsFrets: 22, 0152 Medium-HighScale Length: 25.5"Nut Width: 1.685”Nut Material: Graph Tech Tusq XLNeck Thickness: 1st Fret: .866”, 12th Fret: .913”Bridge: Gotoh Modern BridgeTuners: Sperzel Sound Lok, 18:1 Ratio
