Body & Neck

The body is a non weight-relieved combination of mahogany and plain maple, giving this guitar a little added top-end clarity without compromising the typical resonance you'd expect from traditional mahogany Les Pauls. Top if off with a striking two-tone Pelham Blue / mahogany finish against pristine white binding, you'll turn heads with this uniquely stunning guitar.

For the neck, you'll notice that the Classic is a dream to play thanks to a slim-taper profile and its velvety-smooth rosewood fretboard. The use of mahogany in both the neck and the body is what gives these guitars their famed neverending sustain - every note sings like you wouldn't believe!

Pickups & Electronics

You may have noticed that several of the 2018 models are loaded with P90s. An old-school design, the P90 was designed to strike the perfect balance between traditional single-coils and humbuckers, giving you brilliant clarity and a thick, articulate low-end all in one - the Les Paul Classic is no exception.

Hardware

Opting for a chrome & black look all round to contrast with the distinctive blue finish, the ABR Bridge and aluminium stop-bar have surprisingly resonant qualities to boot. Kidney Grover tuners and black speed knobs polish off this guitar's Classic but unique vibe!
