Lace® Music Products of "Surf City" Huntington Beach, California announces the debut of its long awaited Helix® guitar. The MAYA™ Edition crafted from its Red Label™ series line of guitars and basses.
The new Helix® guitar line was inspired by a hugely successful launch of the Lace Helix® bass in 2008. The Helix's accolades and acceptance worldwide by bass players last year inspired our newest model to debut at Winter NAMM 2009.
