Crossroads L-13 Deluxe

Our latest model in the Crossroads series is a nod to the iconic jazz guitarist from the late ’20’s. As the first jazz guitarist to record as a soloist, his popularity during his lifetime came from his reputation as a singer as well as with his signature song, “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” in 1929. The Deluxe version features a Sitka Spruce top paired with Maple back and sides with a gorgeous all-over sunburst. The Maple neck has a 1-3/4″ vintage taper with gloss finish sporting an Indian Rosewood fretboard with the popular ’27-style Lucas inlay. The peghead features the lovely fleur-de-lis inlay.

Also available as Crossroads L-13 Standard with a Sitka spruce top and either Indian Rosewood or Mahogany back and sides less the all-over sunburst.
