The Luminous Centerline Standard is a classic instrument with a depth of appearance and features that bring it to the modern age. Built by hand using a refined combination of modern and traditional luthiery and woodworking techniques, it is made to be comfortable, inviting and soulful from the very first moment. This Centerline Standard body is cut from a single piece of Alder, classic and lightweight. The finish is hand-pigmented in a classic seafoam green. This specially crafted guitar features white binding on the front and back, with herringbone purfling on the top. It's like a tuxedo for your guitar, no kidding. A thin nitrocellulose finish gleams, protects, and looks super.All Centerline guitars feature a slim, hand-carved neck joint, offering major playing improvements over traditional guitars of this style.The neck is constructed from quarter sawn Eastern Maple and features a nicely figured Birdseye Maple fingerboard. The 9.5” radius fingerboard features 22 extra-tall/medium-width frets and black acrylic dots. Its hand carved thin-C profile is fast and cozy. The thin nitrocellulose on the back of the neck is sanded to a satin finish for superior motion.The electronics were selected to bring out the best in the wood’s natural tone. The Onamac Windery Vintage Tone pickup set is run through a 4-way switch to give traditional pickup combinations in addition to a series signal path. In series, the neck pick runs through the bridge rather than beside it, making a more robust tone with higher output than when the two are run in parallel. These pickups are vintage-correct in output with very fine harmonic clarity. If you want singing classic tone, look no further. They are hand wound by Kerry Learned at Onamac Windery in Washington state. In his words:"A hand crafted Tele style set with world class clarity and tone. Constructed with all the very best materials; black fiberboard flatwork, heavy copper plated steel base plate and the bridge coil comes standard with white string wrap.The neck has a nickel plated nickel-silver alloy cover.The pickups are wound with 42 awg plain enamel on the bridge and 43awg heavy Formvar on the neck. Leads are vintage style waxed cloth pushback wire. The lightly chamfered alnico 3 magnets in the neck and alnico 5 in the bridge both are manufactured to my own formulation and specific sizes.Wound to 7.5k, 7.8k they have enough umph to cut through while occupying that sweet spot that makes for a clear articulate tone throughout the range."With 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.FeaturesBody TypeOne PieceBody ShapeTelecaster StyleLeft-/Right-handedRight-handedNumber of Strings6Body MaterialOne-Piece AlderBody FinishNitrocellulose LacquerColorSeafoam GreenNeck MaterialQuarter Sawn Eastern MapleNeck ShapeC, Hand CarvedRadius9.5”Fingerboard MaterialBirdseye MapleFingerboard InlayBlack Acrylic DotsFrets22, 0152 Medium-HighScale Length25.5"Nut Width1.662”Nut MaterialGraph Tech Tusq XLNeck Thickness1st Fret: .80”, 12th Fret: .92”BridgeGotoh Modern Bridge TunersGotoh SGM, 16:1 RatioNeck PickupOnamac Vintage ToneBridge PickupOnamac Vintage ToneControls1 x volume, 1 x tone, Oak Grigsby 4-Way Lever SwitchElectronicsCTS pots, Russian PIO Tone Cap, Cloth Wire, Switchcraft Output JackCase IncludedChromaCast CC-EHC Hard Case (Not Pictured)
