LushTone Guitars

Introducing The Gaytar by LushTone Guitars, a truly special instrument built with pride and purpose. Originally crafted under their former name, Twitch Guitars, this unique guitar was made to celebrate Grand River Pride. The Gaytar features a meticulously constricted body and neck of Utile, renowned for its resonant tonal properties and sustainable, plantation growth. Its torrefied black walnut fingerboard offers a smooth, stable playing surface, perfectly complemented by a striking local sugar maple cap. At its heart, The Gaytar boasts custom-wound Alnico5 Spectrum Single Coils, designed to deliver a vibrant and versatile sonic palette. Paired with A500K Pots, these pickups ensure clarity and dynamic response. The entire instrument is finished with a durable and beautiful shellac finish, allowing the wood to truly sing. More than just an instrument, The Gaytar stands as a testament to craftsmanship, community, and the power of music to unite. -Taylor Lethbridge.
