Lindert Locomotive T style 2000 Cream & Tweed

These guitars are often overlooked, but represent a pivotal moment in guitar manufacturing history.
Very nice Lindert Locomotive T style guitar with two single coil pickups. These are known for the escape velocity compound radius neck and thumbs' up headstock. the body is Leo Fender meets Danelectro parallel universe build featuring semi-hollow machined pine or poplar bodies with cloth or tweed insets that resembled those found on vintage radios.
what makes these guitars collectible is the"escape velocity" neck profile - ergonomically designed to be half rounded and half vee for faster playing action and less hand fatigue, which is regarded as one of their strongest features. All Lindert guitars also featured a headstock which resembles a hand giving a "thumbs up", a design patented by Charles Lindert himself. The maker was supposedly so pleased with the design of his guitar body that he gave himself a mental thumbs-up, and then decided to fashion the headstock to resemble one.

Lindert guitars have become highly sought by collectors due to their quirky and unusual designs, quality construction, good sound and scarcity.
