JIMI

Our signature ACRYLIC line starts with the inimitable double cutaway style. This style defines the essence of the electric guitar and has remained the standard for over 50 years. We have attempted to add a new twist to the classic by adding the element of an acrylic body. Why acrylic? The advantage of the acrylic body is that it has TWICE the density of the hardest hardwood and introduces sonic qualities that are not possible with a wood body. The acrylic accentuates the “glassiness” or “twang” that this style is famous for without introducing harsh or tinny overtones. The weight of the body (and this sucker is HEAVY! You have been warned!) also provides the bottom end boost that is sometimes lacking in lighter versions of this style. Combined with fine quality single coil pickups and a maple fingerboard, we think we have come up with a winning configuration. But you be the judge!

Body: 8 lb (3.6 kg) solid Polycarbonate acrylic

Neck: Maple (Truss rod reinforced)

Fingerboard: Maple

Scale Length: 648mm / 25.5 “ (21 frets)

KEITH

Our second acrylic model acknowledges the “original” electric guitar design which has remained popular to this day because of its unique sound and body style. This style has a legion of followers in all realms of music from Rock to Country to Jazz and we think all players who love this body style will love the added benefit of ACRYLIC. Like with our other single coil acrylic model, the HUGE density of this material makes this the “Twangiest” experience possible. Again, no problems with thinness of sound or screeching treble, due to the heavy (and we MEAN HEAVY!) heft of this guitar. Once again, the maple fingerboard brings out the brightness without going over the top, and the smooth frets make this model a joy to play.

ALBERT

And who doesn’t love the famous “Flying V” shape! We have just taken it one step more extreme with the addition of ACRYLIC! Why acrylic? The advantage of the acrylic body is that it has TWICE the density (and weight!) of the hardest hardwood and introduces sonic qualities that are not possible with a wood body. For our Humbucking pickup models, the advantage of acrylic is the ability to lose the bottom end “muddiness” that sometimes happens with these models. The density and natural brightness of the acrylic solves the high end problem, while the density and weight helps to maintain the “growl” that we all love! When we add the gold hardware, this model just jumps out to be noticed! And that’s the whole point, isn’t it?

Features:

Body: 10 lb (4.5 kg) solid Polycarbonate acrylic

Neck: Maple (Truss rod reinforced)

Fingerboard: Rosewood

Scale Length: 648mm / 25 “ (22 frets)

RANDY

The Ultimate Rock and Roll body style is enhanced with the quality and density of ACRYLIC! Why acrylic? The advantage of the acrylic body is that it has TWICE the density (and weight!) of the hardest hardwood and introduces sonic qualities that are not possible with a wood body. This low action, Double locked tremolo, high output Humbucking machine is ready to ROCK! The acrylic body gives the guitar considerable heft and brings out the top end of the high-output, uncovered ‘Buckers to make it really scream!

ANGUS

Some players describe this body style as the “ultimate” electric guitar body shape! With smooth curves and twin “horns” for easy access to the upper registers, this is definitely a player’s guitar! To make it even sweeter, we have built it in ACRYLIC! Why acrylic? The advantage of the acrylic body is that it has TWICE the density (and weight!) of the hardest hardwood and introduces sonic qualities that are not possible with a wood body. The clear acrylic accents the curves and the natural density of the acrylic brightens the high end, reducing the tendency to muddiness that humbuckers can sometimes introduce. The density of the acrylic also helps to maintain the “heaviness” that this style is famous for! The sculpting of the body shape makes it rest tight against your hip where a good guitar belongs!

Body: 9 lb (4.1 kg) solid Polycarbonate acrylic

Neck: Maple (Truss rod reinforced)

Why is a guitar “Logical”?













As we started out with this idea, my goal was to find good quality guitars at reasonable prices for those guitarists who can’t afford or can’t justify the cost of buying top of the line guitars. I have tried to minimize the compromises and come up with guitars that are the “logical” choice for those who just want an easy to play, decent quality guitar at a reasonable price. Over the years manufacturers of guitars have become more knowledgeable and the quality of these guitars has improved dramatically. With our guidance, our manufacturers have been very eager to introduce quality improvements that are not normally seen in guitars at this price level. Also, celebrity endorsements cost money, so I have saved you that cost. The only endorsement we care about is yours! We think we have succeeded, and I look forward to sharing my discoveries with you!





Who are we?

Logical Guitars is a Vancouver Canada based guitar company devoted to the idea that guitars should be fun. The founder, Terry David, at one time was a gigging musician and has owned every major brand of guitar. However, reality intervened about 30 years ago and he realized he wasn’t going to be a rock star so he got a job and just played guitar as a hobby. Then about 3 years ago, Terry became interested in getting back into playing, but was surprised at how expensive guitars had gotten while he was “away”. The top brand name guitars were and are absolutely beautiful instruments, but it is hard to justify spending thousands of dollars on a hobby guitar.

After doing a lot of research and visiting many guitar makers, Terry managed to locate some very progressive guitar makers who made good quality, reasonably priced guitars. Terry worked with them and our own design team to design a line of guitars to his specifications, suitable for beginners, serious hobbyists or gigging musicians. Our goal is to produce guitars that deliver twice the quality and features you would expect for guitars in their price range.
