The Lindo Left Handed Feeling Electro Acoustic Guitar – Design and Concept

Designed in-house at Lindo Guitars in Bristol, UK, the Lindo left handed Feeling is mainly a sapele wood construction. Sapele gives this guitar its gorgeous characteristic tones and style. As well as the beautiful wood grain figuring, look closer and you’ll find the decorative laser-engraved body flame detail. The open-pore satin finish is a pleasure to experience and was specifically chosen to give this guitar plenty of “air”.

What a Feeling

The body of the guitar is an all sapele construction which, combined with the nato neck, produces a well-balanced depth of sound. The Lindo Feeling responds very well to fingerstyle techniques and strummed chords. The Venetian cutaway gives players full use of the 20 fret neck and keeps the body nice and light.

The headstock has a sapele veneer which displays the classic Lindo metallic laser-cut logo. To compliment the headstock logo, you’ll find the smooth-action chrome machine heads. The walnut fretboard has elliptical inlays which make this design a real eye-catcher. The contrasting white detailing of the body and neck binding and the bridge and fretboard inlays marries the whole design together. The bone nut and saddle also continue this theme as well as producing excellent string tone and accurate intonation.

The action on the Lindo Feeling is setup to be light and low. This allows the guitarist to hold chords down and play faster up and down the neck. The C-shape neck profile is extremely user-friendly for both strumming accompaniment and serious fingerstyle players.

Feeling Electric?

The Lindo Feeling plays and sounds like a great acoustic guitar. It also has the added benefit of an integrated preamplifier. The TOPS-4T preamp unit includes a tuner which is displayed on a backlit LCD. There are LED indicators to show you whether the string note is sharp, flat on in-tune. The piezoelectric pickup under the bridge saddle provides a direct source to an amplifier or audio interface via the jack or XLR output.

The preamp also includes an equalizer with bass, middle, treble and presence control sliders. You can adjust these within a range of +/- 12dB. This means it’s easy for you to find the right tone to cut through a mix or boost a lead section. There is also a master volume dial and a low battery indicator.

Playing live, recording at home or in a professional studio, the Lindo Feeling will inspire you to create those warm acoustic tones.
