Hand Made Vaschenko LP from Master Luthier Valeriy Vaschenko

This is a top-of-the-line 100% handmade instrument crafted by master luthier Valery Vaschenko.  The guitar is 100% handmade old school style using hot hide glue on all joins and has a thin nitro finish – no CNC machines were used in the production of this instrument.  It is truly a one-of-a-kind guitar.

The guitar has a high grade Honduran mahogany body, master grade solid flamed eastern maple top, brazilian rosewood fretboard, and rosewood headstock veneer.  The inlays are cellulose nitrate and were manufactured by Mazzucchelli, the original Italian factory that supplied to Gibson in the 50s and used on the Les Paul Models.  The guitar has a long neck tenon which is one of the tightest joins I’ve ever seen.

The body & fretboard are encircled with curly maple and recessed binding (body only), a further tribute to this luthiers outstanding work, and the headstock inlay is a combination of real MOP (Vaschenko) and abalone/real MOP (VV).  The guitar is stamped and signed on the back of the headstock by Vaschenko along with date of completion.

Hardware – the guitar is equipped with high-quality hardware, vintage style Schaller deluxe tuners, and has 50’s style wiring with RS Guitarworks Superpots, Jensen PIO caps, and CTS Long Shaft 500K Split Shaft Audio Pot.  

Neck size is between a 59 and 60, and feels like a comfortable soft v in the palm.  It’s not a fat neck.  Weight is little over 9lbs.  Guitar comes with Thomann Hard Case.  The case has some markings on top, although it is in near perfect condition inside.

The guitar is in excellent condition save a couple of minor marks (back of headstock and side).  If you want any additional photos of a specific area, just ask.

Price - $2950 + shipping via Canada Post/USPS in Canada & CONUS.  UK or other European Countries Add $150. 

Thanks!
