Lentz JR. Reserve - 2022 - Mary Kaye - Flame Maple / Brazilian Rosewood. (Collector Owned / Clean)

Near Mint. Looks and plays like new. See photos. Last photo shows a near microscopic finish chip on the back. The guitar as a whole is extremely clean. A brand new Lentz JR. Reserve  with these specs, would cost you over $8600 with a 2 - 3 year wait time.

This 2022 built Lentz JR. Reserve embodies the essence of a traditional ‘S’ style instrument, reminiscent of the finest Stratocasters from Fender’s golden era. It offers exceptional playability and top-tier electronics, combining vintage warmth with modern precision.

Scott Lentz’s Jr. Reserve models represent the pinnacle of his craftsmanship. This particular model stands out with its perfect balance and tonal clarity across the entire neck. The flame maple neck, featuring a classic ’56 soft V profile and a 40-year-old Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, delivers unparalleled feel and tone. The Mary Kaye white (blonde) finish is exquisite, showcasing the grain of the lightweight, resonant, one-piece  cabinet-aged ash body.  

Scott’s custom-wound pickups are meticulously matched to each guitar, ensuring optimal performance. This build features two A5 medium output singles in the neck and middle and an A2 magnet bridge pickup with a slightly hotter winding pattern. Every detail from the round lam Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard to the precision matched electronics, is executed with purpose and precision.

This instrument exemplifies the perfection of a master luthier’s work, capturing the soul, feel and tone of a vintage S-Style guitar at its absolute finest.
