The LEO Lion Theme is the brand ambassador of the “Lion” series. The lion inlay on the body has wooden structures that are smaller than 0.5 mm. The pupils are made of black mother-of-pearl and sparkle dangerously in the right light. The lion theme is harmoniously repeated on the neck with lion’s paws made of white and black mother-of-pearl and on the knobs. The metal parts are made of patinated brass to match this ambience.

With the local wood combination of birch body and cherry neck, the guitar has an assertive sound with a great twang. In the finest Keith style, there is a classic humbucker on the neck for powerful bluesy sounds.

As with the well-known classics, there is no glued fretboard on the neck. The cherry wood is as hard as maple and has a beautiful grain.
