Dear Pepijn San,

Thank you very much for your message.

I am happy to let you know that the guitar arrived safely.
I have already had a chance to play it, and I can clearly feel how comfortable and practical this scale is. It is very easy to handle and suits my playing style extremely well.

I am very much looking forward to taking it with me on future trips and enjoying it in many different places.

Thank you again for your wonderful work and careful handling.

Best regards,
Koh

The sound is pretty impressive but I still need to plug it into a decent amp. I just messed around during work on my audio interface/computer speakers.Either way, I'm very excited for my second guitar Deluxe Junior to round out my collection and keep in my work bag. Excellent work, my friend!

Lapaxe™ Deluxe Black Beauty !

Got the guitar! It's BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU

Thanks to your smart declarations paperwork, the import duties were very very small! Only had to pay the minimum Canadian import taxes so only was about 46 USD.

I played it all afternoon! Going to have lots of fun recording with this while traveling!

Thanks again!

Comment from Rick Gatta !

Had my EX for about 14 years now, never had a problem with it. Even though it's been my daily practice guitar for all this time, the frets are still excellent, as is the bridge, saddles, electronics... the minihumbuckers are phenomenal, and even though I bought a set of 70's Gibson minis as replacements, I've never felt the need to change them. The materials are excellent, plays and sounds like a dream. Sub-tropical summer heat and humidity do not bother it at all! I usually play SGs live, and I can get my cocobolo EX to sound close enough as to use it as an alternate, and just lower the tone and it has an amazing jazzy smooth sound to it that the SGs just can't do. Love it.

Hi! It has just arrived. It is stunning! I'm just really surprised how small it is, and the fantastic finish and color. I can see I'm going to have to test it out a lot and get used to it.

Thank you again for everything. I was expecting to pay about 250GBP import tax but they didn't ask for anything. I don't know how you did it, but I really appreciate it.

Dear Pepijn and Lapaxe Team

I just received the shipment containing my DLX-Black Shadow in good order. 

As one who both teaches and practices industrial design, I’m happy to confirm that this guitar solves the travel problem better than any other example on the market that I am aware of. Looking forward to my upcoming travels with my backpack’s new contents! 

A thousand thanks!

Josh

•    The carbon fiber (supports) and quality build work great, as it arrived in California close to tuned, and it has just completed its first travel from Los Angeles to Austin texas for a week visit..

      I had decided I wouldn't baby it too much, since it is a travel guitar, and since I only travel with a small backpack for carry on. I just lashed the guitar itself onto the pack..TSA had zero issues and not a second glance at xray even..it got to Texas and after being bounced around and dealing with weather changes, it still was close to tuned when I got to our hotel...I took my iRig ,a small speaker, a 3ft cable along with headphones, and it worked great..when I wanted to play out loud I used the small speaker, and at night I would use the headphones...

      Since it is so light and compact, our travels via taxi and bus and short walk to hotels were so nice compared to (carrying) a normal guitar, and this things sounds great..Even unplugged it sounds great, which suprises people, due to its size.

  On the trip back to California, I decided to just put it inside my backpack (it is a 20inch tall Chrome brand pack) and it worked great.. Again after the trip it was still near tune..

    I plan to take it on my international trips, and since I use such ultra minimal carry on luggage it is nice to know the EX is still small enough I should have no real issue with any airlines carry on. Even on Ryan Air I think would be no issue if it were inside my pack. 

     It is so easy to pick up and play that I now play it more than my full size guitars..overall I am super happy with it. Shaun (California USA)
