The Lumiere Jim Campilongo T-Model guitar is the result of three years of dedicated work. Numerous prototypes, several neck shapes, along with painstakingly scrutinizing pickups were the result and focus of Jim’s three visits to Buenos Aires. Our goal was creating the best guitar we could make. From our first conversations with Jim, until the final guitar, every decision was focused on every player having a complete inspired experience while playing the Lumiere JC model.
Based on Campilongo’s experience as a Tele master for over 50 years, along with our lifelong expertise as luthiers we now have a guitar we are proud of and we are confident all players will love. The 100 year old yellow pine necks are sturdy and fit like a glove. The Firebird humbucker gives the player both robust Jazz and Rock alternatives along with the sweet sounding bridge pickup that never pinches the eardrums. High quality super-fast potentiometers make volume and tone swells easier. State of the art tuning pegs with a consistent linear turn make detuning uncomplicated. This along with the visual esthetic of a Duosonic (that displays a gold anodized pickguard with the desert sand color) on a telecaster body makes the Lumiere JC guitar unique, modern and classic simultaneously.
Made with pride by Buenos Aires craftsmen, Lumiere and Jim Campilongo happily present this collaboration - the Lumiere Jim Campilongo T-Model guitar.
