Singlecut sound at a top price - J & D LS II Blonde
The J & D LS II Blonde is inspired by the legendary blues-rock icon in a classic single-cut design and delivers powerful tones at an unbeatable price. The traditional tonewood combination of mahogany body and maple top ensures authentic sound characteristics, giving the guitar a warm, full tonal foundation. As expected, the instrument is equipped with two humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. All classic tones of the original design can be accessed via separate volume and tone controls and a three-way toggle switch. The J & D LS II Blonde is rounded off with a Tune-o-Matic bridge, an aluminium stopbar tailpiece, and six chrome-finished die-cast tuners, ensuring reliable tuning stability and a classic appearance.

Pros: beautiful genuine maple top, all Mahogony (like the real deal), bone nut, rosewood fretboard (dry out of the box), great craftsmanship and finish, lovely neck. Negative (let's call it "meh", as expected and no deal-breakers): pickups harsh and just loud without definition, cheap dime sized pots and cheap wiring, some high frets that need leveling, wobbly tuners. With about 100£ in upgrades (pickups, tuners, wiring and pots) you get yourself a guitar that rivals any Epiphone for half the price. The shape is slightly off (bulkier on the left, opposite the horn), but it makes the guitar look a bit more individual. Similar guitars in the same price range are basswood or Okoume - here you get the full Mahogany deal. A perfect base for an amazing LP!
