Fat Sound's Take
If our first of the new LsL "CV Special" signature Saticoy’s, “Carolita,” is indicative of the norm for this new model from Lance Lerman then every die-hard Strat player should own one.
"Carolita" was pre-sold on arrival which saddened me a bit. I'm happy for the new owner and, of course, glad to have the business, but given the opportunity this guitar would have gone home with me. It's impossible to say that any guitar is "the best I've ever played" for a given style, but "Carolita" is certainly up there in the very top rankings when it comes to the Strat style guitars I've had in my hands.
Carl and Lance have teamed up to create one of the finest sounding, most soulful feeling guitars I've had the pleasure of playing. The neck carve is fantastic......seeming to disappear in my hand.......the new CV specific, LsL hand-wound pickups truly incredible and I really dug the warmth and overall vibe of "Carolita"'s “CV Blue” finish.
It's rare when an S-style piece can effortlessly cover both the shimmery, swirly, percussive and bubbly cleans and the thick meaty 'Texas Tone,' but this guitar does it. The two extremes of my favorite Strat tones in one fantastic playing guitar that felt, in my hands, as if I'd owned it for decades.
One S-style guitar that will cover the signature tones of Clapton, Stevie, Hendrix, Knopfler, Cray........?........sounds like total BS and as I type
this I'm thinking "Oh Lord, they'll nail me to the Ultimate Salesman Tree for sure this time," but "Carolita" was that guitar. I just hope all of the CV models are this good.....if so.....I gotta have one.
Highly Recommended!

"Penny"
“I just received the LsL "CV Special" Saticoy. I have to say it is one of the best sounding and playing new guitars I have had, and it is set up perfectly! When I get a new guitar I usually play it for five minutes then photograph the guitar and store it away until sold. I ended up playing this one for about two hours. I told my wife that "Penny" is my new girlfriend:)”
