A left-handed study in black
THE SOUNDHOLE
STEPS ASIDE.
The Neptune begins by moving one familiar circle away from the centre. That quiet change opens the face of the guitar, sharpens its modern silhouette and gives the player a closer relationship with the sound leaving the body.
This V1 keeps the idea direct: matte black, cream details, a left-handed cutaway and a full-size acoustic platform ready for a quiet room or an amplified stage.
The first outline
Black, quiet and deliberately off-centre.
The offset soundhole changes the familiar acoustic face without making the instrument difficult to understand. A spruce-laminate top provides the soundboard, linden forms the back and sides, and a mahogany neck carries the line towards the black headstock.
Cream ABS binding draws a clear edge around the body. The cutaway opens the upper register to the left hand, while the black-walnut fretboard keeps the visual story restrained.
Where the hands meet the design
Two working surfaces, kept simple.
The black-walnut fretboard and bridge do not compete with the body. They continue the dark palette while the pale fret markers, saddle and bridge pins provide small, useful points of contrast.
When the room grows larger
A direct path from saddle to stage.
A piezoelectric pickup sits beneath the saddle and feeds the onboard F-4T preamp. Its controls bring master volume, bass, middle, treble and presence together with a backlit chromatic tuner, so the amplified sound can be shaped from the guitar itself.
The output module provides both a standard 1/4-inch jack and a balanced XLR connection. One leads naturally to an amplifier or audio interface; the other offers a direct route to a PA or mixing desk.
At the far end of the strings
Black hardware, measured movement.
The Neptune headstock carries the matte-black language into a smaller frame. Lindo alloy machine heads, finished in gloss black and marked with the engraved “L” motif, use a 19:1 gear ratio so each small turn has room to settle.
Before it leaves Bristol
The cosmetic story ends at the surface.
B-stock describes the finish, not the function. Before dispatch, each guitar receives a full UK setup and a practical check of neck relief, nut height, action, frets, electronics and playability. After travel, it should need little more than a quick tune before the first proper chord.
A place to rest between songs
The practical pieces travel together.
The supplied Lindo padded gigbag gives the Neptune somewhere to travel, store and rest. A 9V battery for the F-4T system and an Allen key are also included, keeping the listed essentials together from the beginning.
The clear view
Dimensions and specifications.

The last word
THE MARKS ARE ON THE FINISH.
THE MUSIC IS STILL AHEAD.
This B-stock Neptune keeps its original purpose intact: a left-handed, full-size guitar with a quiet modern silhouette, a practical amplified voice and a clear invitation to be played rather than merely kept perfect.
