Tyler Wells continues to impress! This is the latest model we’ve had the pleasure of offering here at the shop, and we’re frankly on the fence about selling it at all–we just want this one for ourselves. The LHT Fifth is a thin hollowbody with offset F holes/integrated soundports, finished with a hot-under-the-collar black and red sunburst, and simply wired with a Righteous Sounds humbucker. It’s the little details that set this LHT apart from the rest, like the bridge carve with added mass on the bass side, the flawless fit and finish, and most importantly volume and tone knobs that go to eleven. Figured Maple back and sides against a Sitka Spruce top; Mahogany neck plus 24 fret Ebony fingerboard; and a little over five pounds soaking wet.

The Fifth is an exciting new design from rising star Tyle Wells. Tyler has worked for years alongside Tom Ribbecke and is now taking the guitar world by storm with his evocative and fresh designs. The Fifth is his take on an electric archtop that has a lot of acoustic sound coming through the pickup. A very beautiful and elegant design that really works. Easy to hold and certainly easy on the ears! 
Tyler executes every single detail with a flawless eye and steady hand. This Fifth feels like a feather in your hands, plays like so much butter, and I find myself going back and forth between playing it and just staring. It's so gorgeous. | Scale Length | 24.625 in |
