Another guitar from my have-to-get list. They don't pop up very often and when I logged into eBay and saw that it had less than a minute left I just had to bid.

 

The Hot Rails Lead totally overpowers the neck humbucker so they are at about the same height... May have to swap one of them, not sure yet though.

Wow, that is absolutely GORGEOUS man. I'm stunned. Reminds me of a tele for some reason. Argh I'm GASing now. Very nice photos. Where'd you get this?

 

 

Thanks. eBay Germany, I don't know how popular the brand is outside of Europe.

Not popular enough, I freakin' want one. That body is just..I swear it looks like a guitar fit for a king..if kings played guitar. That blue is so vivid.

Looks pretty cool, and my experiences with Lag guitars is that they're a great deal for the money..

 

 

Definitely! I could still kick myself for missing an auction for an old Lag Roxanne, it went for peanuts.

The on;y complaint I have is why cover up so much of that nice flame top with so much pickguard. Ida either gone clear or smaller, like this:

Other than that I'd call that sweet. I think they made one of those for Ritchie Blackmore, it's in that video where he talks about his guitars with his singer/wife.

Incredible! It looks like new!!!

 

It is totally "edel" and your pics are awesome. I like the "moon" contour in the heel area so much. That's one of the nice touches on that guitar. To me, that's kind of a boutique guitar and certainly they were made in relatively few numbers. In 1995, Lag was still a small shop in B
