Detail

These elegantly designed guitars came out of the big band ear.  They originally served double duty, in that the chords formed a musical foundation for the band,  and as a rhythm instrument, they had to cut through the drums and the huge horn section.  That??s a log to ask.  By combining the large body with maple sides and a maple back, the power and cut was achieved.  The spruce top completed the package, bringing a warm and traditional tone.  The LaSalle bring the character and performance of those great instruments together in a modern  instrument. All the details from the F-hole, to the end of the fingerboard, to the shape of the pickguard,  are consistent with the original spirit of those great guitars.
