[2] All MotorAve guitars are built by hand and can be fitted with several different options including different pick ups, fretboard, inlays and finishes.
To avoid back routed control cavities, the guitar was designed with a large pickguard, similar to the one of a Fender Telecaster Thinline.
The guitar had a solid core in the body's center and a sharp sound hole similar to what is normally found on Rickenbackers.
During its construction, Alain Johannes visited the shop to pick up a vintage Maton which had been repaired and took a liking to the unfinished guitar.
One of the first LeMans models were built for American hard rock band Burning Brides guitarist and vocalist Dimitri Coats.
