Authentic '50s Les Paul construction

This model stays true to the original formula that made the Les Paul such a popular instrument. The non-weight-relieved mahogany body gives it a solid, substantial feel, while the carved maple cap adds snap and clarity to the overall tone. Together, they create a rich, resonant platform with strong sustain and a pronounced midrange that works beautifully for everything from clean passages to full-on driven sounds. It's a design that has stood the test of time for a reason, delivering a dependable tonal foundation that feels instantly familiar.

Burstbucker pickups with vintage voice

The Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups are designed to recreate the character of early PAF humbuckers, bringing a warm, open sound with plenty of detail. They respond well to picking dynamics, cleaning up nicely when you roll back the volume and pushing into rich overdrive when driven harder. The Alnico 2 magnets help keep the highs smooth and the mids expressive, making it easy to shape your tone across a wide range of styles. From blues and classic rock to more modern sounds, they retain clarity without losing that vintage feel.

Full neck feel with smooth playability

The 50s Vintage neck profile offers a chunkier feel that fills the hand, giving you a solid grip for both rhythm work and lead playing. It is especially comfortable for players who prefer a more substantial neck. The rosewood fingerboard adds a smooth, natural feel under the fingers, while the medium jumbo frets strike a balance between vintage character and practical playability. It all comes together to create a neck that feels stable, comfortable, and easy to play.

Reliable hardware and classic details

Every part of the hardware setup is designed to support both tone and tuning stability. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop bar tailpiece help maximise sustain and resonance, while the vintage-style tuners keep tuning consistent and accurate. Hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth, usable control over volume and tone, allowing you to dial in subtle changes without losing clarity. Combined with traditional styling touches like Gold Top Hat knobs and nickel hardware, it delivers a complete vintage-inspired package that gigging musicians can rely on.
