Lambdin Morello Coastal Semi-Hollow Archtop - Western Red Cedar with Hard Shell Case

The Lambdin Morello Coastal Semi-Hollow: An Artisan Blend of Sustainability and Sonic Beauty

Boutique Craftsmanship and Responsibly Sourced Tonewoods

The Lambdin Morello Coastal Semi-Hollow Archtop is a breathtaking statement in tone and artistry, handbuilt in Santa Cruz, CA and Portland, OR by Ben Lambdin and Agustin Gaytan-Morello. This model showcases a Western Red Cedar pressed laminate top paired with reclaimed koa back and sides, offering a warm and responsive tonal profile that resonates with both clarity and depth. These responsibly sourced tonewoods bring a story to every note you play, natural, rich, and unmistakably organic.

Purposeful Neck Design and Playability

A California Bay Laurel neck anchors the playing experience with stability and character, topped with a 24.75" scale ebony fingerboard for smooth, articulate response. The neck’s dual-action truss rod ensures long-term adjustability, while the hand-finished bone nut and Sperzel Solid Pro tuners provide tuning reliability and crisp attack. Whether comping chords or sliding through lead lines, this guitar is built to inspire.

Artful Hardware and Electronics

At the heart of its sonic identity are handwound single coil pickups, each voiced to complement the natural resonance of the semi-hollow body. These pickups translate the acoustic warmth of the cedar and koa into a dynamic electric voice. A brass Nashville bridge adds to the tonal complexity, bringing out midrange presence and a responsive feel under the fingers.

Natural Finish and Aesthetic Integrity

This instrument is finished in organic hempseed oil varnish, giving it a soft luster that lets the natural grain of the woods shine while protecting the guitar with an eco-conscious touch. The overall look and feel are refined, understated, and resonant with the luthiers' philosophy, build with purpose, play with passion.

The guitar ships in a TKL arched hardshell case and includes its original build sheet, documenting its handcrafted provenance and detailed specs.
