Every detail, from the hand-wired electronics to the nitrocellulose lacquer finish, is designed to honour the legacy of the original 1950s Les Paul models.

The thicker profile allows for a solid grip, making it ideal for rhythm playing while still feeling smooth for lead work. Combined with a rosewood fretboard, the neck offers a natural feel with a warm response that complements the guitar’s rich tonal character. Vintage-style frets and a 12” fretboard radius further enhance playability, allowing for effortless bending and smooth chord transitions. From intricate solos to powerful riffs, this neck profile ensures a comfortable and satisfying experience.
