| The Lace Helix Guitar |
January 28, 1999In an effort to create the most ergonomic guitar possible, the designers
of the Lave Helix stated fresh with a clean sheet of paper and focused
onthe interaction between the hands and body. As you move your hand up
and down the fingerboard there is a natural twist, but a typical guitar
fingerboard forces you to adapt to a flat surface. The patented Lace Helix
Twisted Neck™ has a 20 degree twist that follows the natural twist
of your hand making it more comfortable, smooth, fatigue free, and ergonomically
correct.

The Patented Lace Helix® body shape has an elegance and style all its
own. From the smooth soft curves tracing the body's front flowing around
the Mini Data Wheel Knobs and passing upward under the strings to the sleek
extension of the upper horn. Glide your hand along the reverse side of the
upper horn and down into the valley of the "SpinedBack™"
where the neck and body join. Trace the elegant shape of the lower horn
as it angles its way gently into the valley of the smooth SpinedBack™.
Once you play the Lace Helix Twisted Neck™ with its patented Dual Compound
Split Radius™ finger-board, you will understand why there is no going
back to the standards of yesterday. After five minutes with the Lace Helix™
you will agree it is truly the third guitar.
The list price for the Lace Helix (including case) is $1995.95.
The Helix20°™
Love the tone of your existing guitar but lust for more playability?
The Lace Helix Twisted Neck™ System mounts effortlessly into your
existing guitar's Fender® Stratocaster™ neck pocket. The Helix
20°™ comes with a durable clear gloss finish and Jim Dunlop'
frets. You can enjoy the benefits of The Lace Helix Twisted Neck™
System for about the same price as a conventional aftermarket replacement
neck ($399.95).

have the convenience of the Lace Helix Twisted Neck™ System with
the LG-1. The well-balanced contoured body comes loaded with Locking Sperzel®
Machines, ABM® bridge and the exciting new ActoTone™ virtual
acoustic system. The LG-1™ is available with several Lace pickups
