The body of the guitar is made of mahogany and maple top. Thanks to the body's resonance chambers (Ultra Modern Weight Relief treatment), the instrument is considerably lighter than classic heavy LP models, while retaining the typical Les Paul sound and feel. The thin lacquer nitrocellulose finish allows the guitar's wood to breathe and enhances the instrument's sonic qualities.
Glued to the mahogany neck is a rosewood fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by position blocks made of imitation mother-of-pearl in the shape of a trapezoid. The Slim Taper neck profile offers excellent playability and good fingerboard compliance at all fretboard positions.
The sound of the instrument is provided by two 490R/498T humbuckers. These modern pickups are based on the sound of the 57 Classic models, only with more pronounced characteristics in the midrange to achieve a more contemporary humbucker sound. Two volume potentiometers, a tone shutter and a three-position pickup lever switch are used for sonic corrections. The volume knobs feature a Push/Pull (coil-tap) function, whereby lifting the potentiometer changes the humbucker sound to a single-coil character.
Stable tuning is ensured by mounting the strings through the Nashville Tune-O-Matic aluminum headstock in the stop bar. The stylish design of the instrument is accentuated by chrome hardware and a black pickguard.
The guitar comes in a high-quality soft shell case with a set of accessories.
