Shabat Lion Deluxe Electric Guitar in Olympic White, Light Aged

In Shabat’s own words, the Lion Deluxe is “all about big, heavy tone” — and it absolutely delivers. Combining a classic T-style silhouette with singlecut-style appointments, this is a seriously classy hybrid. From the binding and elegant block inlays to the rock-solid hardware and flexible electronics, everything about the Lion Deluxe feels purposeful and refined, with a bold, authoritative voice to match.

Handcrafted in Los Angeles by a small team of seasoned builders, the build quality here is second to none. Whether you’re playing gigs on the reg or laying down tracks at home or in the studio, this is a guitar that will always inspire every time you pick it up.

Lollar Imperial humbuckers

At the heart of the Lion Deluxe is a pair of Lollar Imperial humbuckers — Lollar’s take on the legendary late-’50s P.A.F. design. They capture all the warmth, clarity and dynamics that made the originals so revered, but with improved frequency balance and a touch more output from the bridge pickup. The result is a versatile, vintage-voiced setup with enough punch to handle modern styles.

About Shabat Guitars

Shabat Guitars was founded by Avishay ‘Avi’ Shabat, a graduate of the prestigious Algranti School of Lutherie. After years spent repairing guitars professionally and working alongside a respected boutique builder, Avi set out to create instruments that honour the classic designs we all know and love — while subtly addressing the shortcomings that often come with vintage gear.

Built from carefully selected, well‑seasoned tonewoods and finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, Shabat guitars are designed to resonate freely and age beautifully over time. Each model is fitted with premium hardware and high-end electronics, including exclusive Lollar pickups, ensuring exceptional tone, feel and reliability straight out of the case.
