Lyle w-465

It's a simple dreadnought design, so there's not a lot of frills. It's simply a wonderful looking a playing guitar. a booming bass sound from the ages wood (it just keeps improving with age). Has a comfprtable neck. The finish is spotty in places where the varnish ran some (this may be why ther whole "seconds" myth from Gibson started. i've played $3000.00 Gibsons that don't sound as good!

Rich is all I can say. Perfect for strumming the blues, or even "ol timey" stuff.

Great set up action and superb craftmanship (it's a shame whomever finished it was sloppy that day.

It's over thirty years old and I've only changed the tuners to Grovers, 'cause I like 'em. This guitar will last for hundreds of years!

lyle is no longer around, but it has never needed repairs of any kind.

Although I've only been playing the guitar a few years, I've been around instruments, of all sorts, all of my life.
For an acoustic, it can't be beat. When i got it, I traded some services for it ($50.00, worth of security system repair). The guitar even has a working antique DeArmond pickup from Rowe Industries formerly of Toledo, Ohio with it!
I also have an Ovation 1861 Balladeer, and an Elitist Epiphone Les Paul Standard

I have a Lyle w465 flat top guitar I purchased in 1972 or 3 and paid $100.00 for it. I cant find this model number anywhere in my searches.
I can find the w-460 which I guess is the copy of the Gibson Hummingbird. My w-465 looks alot like the 1200-l but is a little different then mine.
Can anyone give me any info on this model number?

It sounds wonderful and is rich with sound

action is really fast and easy

I have played it for years and it still looks as good as the day I bought it. Maybe a few more scratches.

Never had to have it repaired
