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 features a two piece Ash body with a custom dyed, hand sprayed 3-color Negroni Burst. Ash is the most classic wood for building this style of instrument, imparting its famously plucky, bright tone and long sustain. The body is specially contoured for comfort, featuring a tummy cut and extra-round corners on the back and the arm-rest area of the body.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 beautifully striped Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The 9.5” radius fingerboard features 22 extra-tall/medium-width frets and white clay dots. Its hand carved C profile strikes a balance between true-vintage fat and modern thin. It feels cozy along the full length for players of all hand sizes. The thin lacquer finish 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 "Topless" 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. The open-face cover of the neck pickup in this set adds high-end clarity and sparkle compared the standard covered Tele-style pickups. These pickups are vintage-correct in output with very fine harmonic clarity. If you want singing classic tone with extra clarity, look no further. They are hand wound by Kerry Learned at Onamac Windery in Washington state. In his words:"Here's a hybrid Tele set that's a cross between my Blues Tele and Vintage tone Tele sets. A warm fat sounding bridge with and a really sweet sounding neck that's wound a little on the stout side but due to the open top cover it has the sweet tone of a Tele neck with a clarity not typically heard from a Tele neck."The covers on typical Tele neck pickups have a negative affect on the clarity and tend to darken the tone, some more than others depending on the material it's made from. This open top cover doesn't interfere with the magnets ability to sense string vibration so it has a sound with more clarity and harmonics, much like a Strat pickup does."Both pickups use alnico magnets made to my formulation and dimensions. The alnico 3 neck is 43 awg plain enamel wound to 7.5k, the bridge is 42 awg SPN(single poly-nylon) with alnico 5 for a fat bluesy sound. The neck pickup has a nickel plated open top cover with custom gray Forbon flatwork. The bridge has black rope winding with gray bottom flatwork and copper plated base plate."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.Due to CITES regulations on the export of Rosewood lumbers and products, I am unable to offer this item to buyers outside the United StatesFeaturesBody Type2-Piece Solid BodyBody ShapeTelecaster StyleLeft-/Right-handedRight-handedNumber of Strings6Body MaterialAshBody FinishLacquerColor"Negroni" Red SunburstNeck MaterialQuarter Sawn Eastern MapleNeck ShapeC, Hand CarvedRadius9.5”Fingerboard MaterialIndian RosewoodFingerboard InlayWhite Clay DotsFrets22, 0152 Medium-HighScale Length25.5"Nut Width1.670”Nut MaterialGraph Tech Tusq XLNeck Thickness1st Fret: .844”, 12th Fret: .875”BridgeGotoh Modern BridgeTunersGotoh SGM, 16:1 RatioNeck PickupOnamac "Topless" TeleBridge PickupOnamac "Topless" TeleControls1 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)
