The fretboard is solid rosewood with a traditional hide-glue fit, ensuring both a pronounced low-end and an unparalleled smooth playability. Believe us when we say you wont want to put it down! The body again makes use of solid mahogany, adding to the typically chunky sound. Theyve opted for 2-piece maple for the top, adding just the right amount of snap to the Les Pauls smooth tone. Your chords will ring, your riffs will snarl and your leads will shimmer like never before. Again, authenticity is the aim of the game. Gibson have also made use of the famed bumblebee capacitors.Named after their black and yellow stripes, theyre known for adding a healthy amount of mid-range emphasis, tightening up your lows and highs for velvety tonal smoothness.
