This custom-built Lester Devoe negra is a one of a kind. It has a matte finish on the neck, which provides a feel and smoothness like none other. The cedar soundboard is spectacular, fine grain, covered with silk that only appears when the top is perfectly split. The back and sides were chosen from many sets as the lightest. The sound is spectacular, you can feel every note resonate. The trebles are vibrant and the basses very punchy. The action is perfect, low and tight on the right while easy and comfortable for the left. The pegs are so easy to use that you can tune up by only using your left hand. Lester has been working at his craft for a long time now, he truly is a maestro. Condition is new, built in December of 2017.
