SlimTaper Profile
A crucial aspect of this Les Paul guitar is its 60s-style SlimTaper mahogany neck. It’s a fast, fluid neck shape that grants musicians the ability to glide along a rosewood fingerboard with a finesse that’s comfortable and effortless.

The instrument sports an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium StopBar tailpiece, faithfully contributing to its tonal consistency. The gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and Grover Rotomatic “Kidney” tuners further accentuate its appeal while providing stable tuning and quick string changes.
60s Burstbucker Pickups
What makes this model sonically enchanting are the 60s Burstbucker pickups loaded with Alnico 5 magnets. When wired to audio taper potentiometers and paired with Orange Drop capacitors, the resultant sound is rich, complex, and endlessly adaptable. These pickups can effortlessly transition from mellow blues riffs to high-octane rock with ease.
