Luxars S-G25-SBK Stratocaster HSS

Body Construction

The body of the Luxars S-G25 Stratocaster electric guitar is constructed from solid alder with flamed maple design (Sorry! it must be hard to see the flamed maple design in the picture), a material widely recognized in the guitar manufacturing industry for its excellent tonal characteristics. One of the paramount advantages of using solid alder in guitar bodies is its weight. Alder is relatively lightweight compared to other woods such as mahogany or maple, which can contribute to a more comfortable playing experience, particularly during extended sessions.

The Luxars S-G25 Stratocaster electric guitar features a high gloss polyester finish that significantly enhances both its aesthetic appeal and durability. This type of finish not only gives the guitar a sleek, polished look but also serves as a protective layer against various environmental factors, including moisture and dirt. One notable advantage of the high gloss polyester finish is its ability to highlight the natural grain patterns of the wood used in the guitar’s construction.

Premium Specification

The neck of the Luxars S-G25 Stratocaster electric guitar is a significant feature that contributes to its overall playability and aesthetic appeal. Made from roasted maple, this neck not only offers a distinguished look with its unique wood grain pattern but also provides great stability and sustain. Roasted maple is known for its ability to withstand the rigors of performance and the test of time, making it a preferred choice among guitarists.

The C-profile neck offers excellent ergonomics, allowing for various playing styles and techniques. It features 22 medium-sized stainless steel frets, an attribute that sets it apart from many budget guitars available on the market. The choice of stainless steel not only provides longevity and durability but also delivers an exceptional feel under the fingers. Guitarists will appreciate the smoothness of the frets, which permits effortless transitions during solos or complex chord progressions. The combination of 22 stainless steel frets and the 9.5-inch radius gives the Luxars S-G25 an edge, particularly for those transitioning from premium guitars to this model.

Locking tuners are engineered to keep strings securely in place, minimizing slack and enhancing overall tuning consistency. This design is especially beneficial for guitarists who frequently change tunings or engage in various strumming techniques, as it significantly reduces the chances of strings slipping out of tune during play. The chrome finish of these tuners not only provides a sleek aesthetic but also contributes to their durability, helping them withstand the rigors of constant use.

The guitar features an HSS (humbucker/single coil/single coil) arrangement, incorporating Alnico 5 pickups. This configuration is strategically designed to provide a broad spectrum of sounds, making the S-G25 suitable for various musical genres. A standout feature of this budget guitar is its 24k potentiometer, which plays a critical role in adjusting volume and tone. The premium quality of the potentiometer is pivotal for maintaining signal integrity, allowing for smooth adjustments without introducing unwanted noise.
