A meticulously handcrafted boutique guitar with exotic tonewoods and handwound pickups.
The XT4-DX HSH from LSL Instruments embodies the passion for handcrafted guitar building. This double-cutaway solidbody electric combines exotic tonewoods with proprietary hand-wound pickups and premium appointments throughout. Whether you crave vintage inspiration or modern tone, the XT4-DX provides an exceptional platform for serious musical expression.
Premium Tonewoods Meticulously Voiced
From its cocobolo top to its black limba body, the XT4-DX surrounds you with rich, resonant tones. LSL selects premium cuts of these exotic woods, then hand-shapes them into a double-cutaway solidbody design. The oil finish allows the unique grain patterns to shine through while enhancing tonal warmth. Complementing the body is a pau ferro neck—its dense yet musical character contributes to the guitar's exceptional sustain and note clarity.
Hand-Wound Pickups Deliver Signature Tones
At the heart of the XT4-DX are LSL's proprietary hand-wound pickups. The HSH configuration—a humbucker in the neck and bridge positions flanking a single-coil in the middle—unlocks a world of musical tones. Dial in thick, liquid leads with the humbuckers or explore the unique quack and sparkle of the middle single-coil. Whether you need vintage warmth or modern punch, these pickups respond with stunning dynamics and harmonic richness.
Premium Appointments Elevate Playability
The XT4-DX's 16" radius and jumbo frets on the cocobolo fingerboard invite effortless chordwork and bending across all 24 frets. LSL's proprietary neck joint maximizes resonance transfer for premium sustain and note bloom. The slim modern D neck profile fills your hand naturally for hours of fatigue-free playing. From the 1.65" nut to the sculpted heel, every detail empowers your musical expression.
Handcrafted in California With Pride
Each XT4-DX represents a labor of love from LSL's California workshop. Their luthiers meticulously hand-shape the body, apply the finish and install the pickups and hardware. Every component is carefully selected and assembled with an artisan's attention to detail. LSL stands behind this craftsmanship with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner—the XT4-DX is built to inspire for decades.
