The Lindo Left Handed Swallow Electro-Acoustic Guitar – Designed in Bristol, U.K, by Lindo Guitars

One of the main goals in creating the Lindo left handed Swallow was to produce it with the ‘perfect purple’ colour. But also to include the spiritual ideas surrounding this guitar, like the dreamcatcher inlay. The ‘graphic art’ feathers on the body and matched headstock is as eye-catching as it is unique. The unique laser-cut metal headstock logo gives this guitar a very slick look.

Tonewoods and Shape

As an acoustic guitar, it is important for the tone to be warm and resonant. The Lindo Swallow does not disappoint for such a modestly priced instrument. The bridge and fingerboard are solid walnut. This wood has a beautiful grain as well as providing incredible tone. The top is spruce, which combined with the linden wood sides and back produces solid bass notes. The neck is catalpa and is a slim c-shape, so great for beginners and experienced players. Comfort comes by way of the cutaway body giving access to all 20 frets.

Features and Benefits

A bone nut and compensated bone saddle ensure the intonation is accurate across the breadth of the fretboard. Bone is also an excellent material for providing a high-quality, natural string tone. The dreadnought cutaway body projects very well and also offers easy access to those higher frets. This is an excellent choice for a range of techniques and styles. The chrome, smooth-action machine heads are die-cast and provide stable string tuning. Tuning is simple by way of the on-board F-4T preamp LCD.

Output Heaven

Another benefit of the preamp is the dual€ jack and balanced XLR outputs. These allow for connection to a guitar amplifier, mixing desk or audio interface. This means you can play live or record music at home. There are EQ controls for the bass, middle, treble and presence. There is also a master volume, as well as low battery indicator. The LEDs illuminate when a note is sharp or flat, so it’s very clear and easy to use in all lighting conditions.

Suitable for all levels of player, the Lindo left handed Swallow is the ideal guitar for learning, gigging or just going to a friend’s to jam.
