A.J.Lucas / Obelisk / 2025 / Guitar For Sale
This Obelisk electric is a special collaborative project between me and my Daughter, Rose.
I built the guitar using very lightweight Honduras mahogany that was cut in the early 1940s or possibly earlier. The neck is reclaimed mahogany and the fingerboard Indian rosewood.
The pickups are a pair of P90s wound by myself and housed in English sycamore (acer pseudoplatanus) covers - the same wood used in some of the inlays. I also made the knobs using the same wood..
The inlay was designed and executed by my daughter, Rose using abalone, mother of pearl, reconstituted rock and sycamore and ash wood.
The finish is Osmo Oil which is tactile and shows off the beauty of the woods and is quite hard-wearing. The machine heads are Gotoh
The bridge is a Schaller Signum
Nut width: 42mm
Weight: 3230g
Scale length 650mm
The guitar comes with a Hiscox Pro II case.
A J Lucas Luthier, UK
I believe passionately in the connection between player and instrument. The guitar should not be a barrier between the musician and their music and so I builds tactile guitars that one can feel a visceral connection with. As much as possible I use reclaimed and local woods without compromising the quality of the instruments. I was originally trained in architecture and my work is informed by a sense of form and structure.
I build mainly steel string flat-top, electric and classical guitars to my own designs but also make mandolin family instruments and ukuleles.
