Overview
Legendary guitarist, Carl Verheyen, has selected LsL Instruments to create the Carl Verheyen Signature Model, the "CV Special".
Carl is known for his discriminating taste in gear. His standards for tone and playability are the highest possible. With that in mind, LsL worked closely with him to create an instrument that would not just be another signature model but would be the guitar that Carl most often reached for when either working on stage or during one of his countless studio sessions.
The LsL CV Special is the result of these efforts.

| FRETBOARD |
Dark, Rosewood, 7.25" radius fingerboard with LsL's "Lowered Apex" fingerboard edges. The "Lowered Apex" creates a rounded transition from the neck to the fingerboard that begins behind the fingerboard and creates a soft, worn-in feel that melts in your hand. |

Hand-shaped neck that is based on Carl's '61 which has a medium "C" shape that is about .88" thick at the 3rd fret. |
