The neck on this guitar is crafted from one-piece mahogany, offering exceptional stability and sustain. Its 1959 Rounded Medium C profile is designed to replicate the feel of the original 1959 Les Paul, providing a slightly thicker grip that's favored by many players for its comfort and control. The bound rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets, ensuring smooth playability across the entire scale. Finished with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays and a long neck tenon for added structural integrity, this neck delivers a playing experience that feels both vintage and precise. Whether you're bending notes or playing intricate chord shapes, the neck's design supports effortless expression and tonal clarity.

AAA Flamed Maple Veneer for Timeless Aesthetics

The carved maple top, paired with a AAA flamed maple veneer, gives this instrument a stunning visual appeal that echoes the classic 1959 Les Paul design. The combination of the mahogany body and maple top creates a tonal synergy, blending warmth and sustain with bright articulation. A single-ply cream binding on the top and fretboard enhances the guitar's vintage-inspired aesthetic while providing additional durability. Available in finishes like Deep Cherry Sunburst and Washed Bourbon Burst, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. Its elegant craftsmanship ensures it will be a centerpiece in any stage or studio setup.

Gibson Custombucker Pickups for Vintage Tone

This model is equipped with a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, designed to capture the tonal characteristics of the original 1959 Les Paul Standard. The Custombucker pickups feature Alnico 3 magnets, delivering a warm, dynamic response with a vintage-inspired clarity. Hand-wired CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors ensure smooth volume and tone control, allowing for precise adjustments to suit your playing style. The three-way toggle switch offers seamless pickup selection, enabling players to blend or isolate the neck and bridge pickups for a wide range of tonal options. This electronic configuration provides everything from warm, mellow tones to searing leads with exceptional fidelity.
