Lucas
 

The McAlister Lucas model is designed to have the presence of a large guitar with the playability of a smaller body. Incorporating a deep body under a narrower sound board creates the bass resonance needed to produce the large body tone. Scalloped bracing and a deep, narrow- waisted body assist in creating a tone that is very impressive and superior playability that allows greater freedom of motion.

McAlister Guitars takes its inspiration for this guitar from instruments played by Nick Lucas in the 20's and 30's. The original theory of a small, deep bodied guitar was an excellent concept that would prove to be both effective and popular. Combining these elements with McAlister Guitars own bracing and voicing techniques, the Lucas model has evolved from a great guitar into an exceptional guitar. A guitar which possesses the balance, the clarity and especially, the volume you demand.

Along with all the available options, McAlister Guitars offers the Lucas model in the standard full body depth or medium and shallow depths. As well as 12, 13 or 14 fret models to provide maximum design flexibility.
