The koru is the Maori name given to the new unfurling fern frond and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace. It is an integral symbol in Maori art carving in New Zealand.

A worlds first !

All Langcasters have standard overdrive with gain control and Lo-Impedance Pickups.

Guitar Ace Jan Akkerman with over 70 Lp's and Cd's to his name with Focus and many solo projects, is known for his taste of exquisite guitars

Jan Akkerman favored Lancaster for his Jimi Hendrix Tribute Tour together with an other guitar legend Steve Lukather of (TOTO).

Jan Akkerman motivated his choice for Langcaster as follows:

" For this Hendrix tour I had to play a Strat. I generally dislike Fenders but this Langcaster was something else. Good appearance with 35.000 years old Swamp Kauri wood, very appealing.
The feel of this Langcaster is good, and the hardware is of superb quality.

"Hi Joh, it is one of the most beautiful strat models I have ever played on"

Jan Akkerman.

See more photos and read what Jan Akkerman had to say,

The only low impedance  pickups in the world with overdrive.

Read the pickup ANTHOLOGY, all about the Ultimate low-impedance pickups .

Lo-impedance pickups means longgg cables and no loss of treble. It has the widest frequency range ever and a louder out put . Only 100 Ohm resistance and not the usual +/- 8000 K you will find in other pickups.
Push the switch and you have a great sweet sounding overdrive with a volume pot to set the amount of gain.
When the overdrive is activated a LED lights up in the switch plate when playing.



 Langcaster custom made guitars have a Carbon fiber cavity.

Carbon is conductive and strong as steel , many companies are too lazy to correctly  shield guitars.

 The switch plate has an LED and the rings round the pickups are hand made like the pickups.

 The Battery can be opened  from the back plate in a battery holder. The battery lasts +/- 800 Hr.

Langcaster with Amber and Kauri gum the oldest wood ever used in a guitar ! 35000 years old.

Classic carving pattern head stock

Paua shell truss rod cover.

No solid body guitar sounds cleaner than the Langcaster.

Langcaster Guitar Review in Gitarre&Bass Magazine, January 2004.

Europe's most respected and largest magazine!.

For us testers there is seldom the possibility to take something special under the loop.

Therefore my eyes flashed when they told me of a guitar, which shortly ago appeared in the joined short tour of strings acrobats Steve Lukather and Jan Akkerman made its striking appearance.
