Leo Posch Nick Lucas Guitar Leo Posch spent 14 years as repair-tech at Mass Street Music in Lawrence, KS before building a shop at his house in 2000. Leo prides himself on building guitars in the old tradition with Hot Hide glue, thin nitro finish, and high quality woods resulting in a wide open sound. Leo has seen some fabulous guitars over the time he spent repairing. The ones that always sounded best to him are the Martins from the 1900s to the late 1930s and Gibsons from the 1920s to the early 1950s, therefore that is the kind of guitars he prefers to build. Leo delivers remarkable tone through vintage inspired construction, coupled with his own techniques that result in an extremely resonant instruments with phenomenal response and playability. Leo hand selects his woods for their stiffness and tonal potential first and foremost, and uses old world hide glue construction and craftsmanship that give this Nick Lucas remarkable resonance and response. This is an excellent version of a Nick Lucas style guitar featuring Adirondack Spruce on the top and figured Maple back and sides. This classic combo has endured for many years, and for good reason... that classic sound! Maple backed guitars offer a clarity and mid-range punch that rosewood isn't generally capable of. While a bit less bassy than rosewood, Maple is tough to beat for note definition and lead clarity. The low end on this guitar is quite nice, offering rich round low notes while maintaining stunning clarity. Higher lead notes are bright and crisp up the entire fretboard. The gorgeous appointments include Ivoroid buttons on the Waverly tuners, gorgeous custom MOP inlay work and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. There also has been a custom sound port added to the side of the guitar for personal monitoring. Please review the photos below.
