Hello Lovers of Lys! I'm very happy to have found this thread.

I have a Lys L3 Serial # 8605. Looks like it could be wild cherry back and sides, but it could be walnut, and it could be a maple top, although the top resembles the grain of the back and sides so I'm guessing all walnut or all wild cherry. Very bright tone!

One single stripe of wood marquetry down the back. Simple 3 ply marquetry ring around soundhole with 2 small wood rings and 1 dominant tortoise shell ring. Black teardrop pickguard. Tortoise shell binding on top and back. Tortoise shell truss rod plate. Rosewood bridge, fretboard, and fantastic headstock faceplate.

3-piece mahagony neck. I love the headstock! The action is very high, and I won't be able to get it back down without a screw (as mentioned way above, and a solution from one guitar store owner), or resetting the neck. I have enough guitars that I can dedicate one to open tuning and slide, so I'm not tinkering with the neck (or the bright tone, also mentioned above.) The information in this thread seems to be going in one direction only - towards the person compiling a database.

I admire the project, so I am happy to contribute, but I would like a bit of feedback please. If I could know the year it was manufactured, a breakdown of the serial number, and what the production run of the L3 was, that would be greatly appreciated! I'm the one working on the database. I'm finalizing the clean up of the accumulated data I have since I began my searches in 2008, and hope to be able to create either a website or a facebook page soon. Anyone who have Lys guitar can send me the data (Model, serial number, year indicated on the label if any, and pics), I will add your info to he database. Single Father 1x02. You can either reply here or send the info to jerrybriand at sympatico.ca I collect data on Lys guitars but also the guitars. I have about 26 Lys of different models and generation or series.

I'm always looking to improve my collection when I found Lys in better condition that the one I have.Feel free to contact me. I have a LYS L20 from 1982-3. It plays very well and the neck is.so resistant to seasonal change. It is set up so close that any variation in the neck would buzx. I only clean the neck during string change. A wax has never been used and the gret board still looks very good for 28 years of heavy playing.

My string choice is the nano web or polyweb light guage. Bob They are.so smooth and.hold pitch.

They also bring out the low and higher strings better than other brands. My LYS has a veneer body and these strings seem to capture the best tones for this type of construction. Hi, I have an LYS accoustic guitar for sale, model L18-12CW. Please email abe at gmail.com and make me an offer!: I have recently come across a LYS L18, (serial# 8345) guitar that was my great grandpas. I already have some vintage acoustics and am very excited about his one. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything more about this specific guitar.
