This custom LP-style build features a Honduran mahogany body with a carved flamed maple top, selected for its tonal balance and resonance. The neck is one-piece Honduran mahogany with a classic 1959-style profile, fitted with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets, radiused to vintage specs for smooth playability. The body and neck are joined with a traditional mortise-and-tenon set neck construction, and all joints are reinforced with hide glue, staying true to vintage methods. Electronics consist of a pair of Seymour Duncan ’59 humbuckers, wired through CTS pots and vintage-style capacitors, delivering warm, articulate tones with plenty of dynamic range. Every aspect of the build was designed to honor classic Les Paul construction while providing modern reliability and feel.
