Body & Neck

• Body: One-piece solid mahogany. Unlike standard Les Paul models, the Black Beauty version has no maple top, which produces a darker and warmer tone. • Neck: Mahogany with a period-correct “Chunky ’50s Rounded” profile. • Construction: Long Neck Tenon, fitted using Hot Hide Glue for maximum resonance — just like in the 1950s. • Fingerboard: Solid ebony with 22 frets. • Inlays: Mother of Pearl block inlays.
